Driven by irrational forces of needs and desires,
His thoughts overtaken by the corporate propaganda regime,  
She fills her face with powders so much so you would believe she was born with it,
Misinformed or purposefully restrained?
Her true beauty ignored; her outer-self objectified,
An object whose vassal is unknown or unseen
It… Born out of this ever expanding notion of the self
The tele screens simultaneously in our pockets and in front our eyes,
Constantly urging us to engage,
Our alertness to (anti)-social social control,
An almost schizophrenic response,
Fingers twitch uncontrollably,
Our information seamlessly collected and distributed,
Our freedoms of thought and expression sold to the highest
bidder,
In the age of decadence we shall march,
We shall be loyal subjects and be subjugated without quarrel,
We shall adorn our flesh with garments whose worth has been dictated,
We shall sacrifice our hard earned currency for our digital fix,
For we are the loyal and never fulfilled consumer.
