Consumerism, Merely Another God! Poem by Ross DixPeek

Consumerism, Merely Another God!



Consumerism, Merely Another God!


We don’t ask why, we just buy
Seduced by yet another lie,
Told we need,
The subliminal bleed,
Spend, spend, spend
The madness knows no end,
Consumerism, merely another God
And still transfixed, onward we plod,
Desire and possession,
Money the obsession,
Man’s maniacal law,
The fiscal flaw,
And meek, do we genuflect
Before the invisible architect,
Told what to wear, and what to eat
What to buy, the ultimate deceit,
And when in debt, spend they say
And like mere robots, we obey,
Not a murmur, Not a whimper,
And still we feed this Monster,
And when, I ask, alas and alack,
Will we finally take our lives back!
