Minnie's Diary Published this poem, which is a cynical look at love in the modern world |
The Market Rules Us All The market rules all We are nothing but products The rights to us Have long been sold Bow down and worship The all mighty market Everything we do Everything we see Everything we are Nothing but our personal brand Nothing human left over Nothing authentic left over Nothing but lies Fake news nonsense The world does not care one whit About you and me As people It is all about the profits that can be made By exploiting our labor And once we are used up We become a liability And a burden If you have not made it to the top By age 55 You are a loser And should be retired Forced to live out your life On your miserable pension As you wait to die No longer useful To the Masters of the Universe And true love Nothing but an illusion It is all about the sex, baby And how getting your baby Ahead at all costs Who cares about love It is all nothing But a second hand emotion As the song puts it Love is nothing but a sexual commodity And we are all nothing but interchangeable Commodities in the marriage and love market And porno values rules the bedroom As we are nothing more than used body parts Who cares about friendship It is all about how they can use you And you can use them To get ahead
True Love and genuine connections Cannot survive In this toxic soup Of the modern materialist world God and spirituality Nothing but a scam As our so call Christian Leaders Proclaim their love for you All they love is your donations And they too are part of the market Jesus if he ever comes back Will no doubt Be used to sell more goods As the right to Jesus Has also been sold |
