The Disposable Dog I Am

by stanley-zakyich

Articles of these dire times Remind me of my soul's state. It tries to fly, though misguided by The pursuits of materialism and "joy", But it chokes on the band. With leash in hand, My master demands I obey his commands. "Sit", "Shake", "Give the rich your money". Never to reach the land of milk and honey, My soul lays tied to the ground, reading Articles of these dire times.

Notes

We're slaves of consumerism and celebrate the overgrowth of capitalism (emphasis on overgrowth. I like capitalism, but to an extent).
