Don't be material, They say with condescending gleams, Oh it is the devil, you'll find, a way to hell, and nothing more. Meanwhile, behind the curtains where they think themselves safe, they beat it to child **** with quite a similar gleam. Oh I know what will **** me, I won't smoke that cigarette, But I will feel happy with success, Oh I'll take that money and spend it, On these amazing things capitalism and competition, Drive the world to create. I tell you what I don't know what joy is but, I love my new phone, And I've seen some real demons, And they look a lot like you, judging, They look hungry for righteousness, And self satisfaction, Well I get nothing off myself, So I guess I'll settle for the world. Ain't much of a poem I guess, But at least it's something to take home.

Materialistic Diatribe
