Culture Peddle
Who do you think you are fooling?
Indoctrination is the name of the game,
And Mammon is the supreme God.
Jesus, Ram, Allah and Buddha
Are icons for sale.
Prayer music and such-like
Is techno-clink in the tills
Packaged salvation brings unity
For joint commercial ventures.
Catwalk queens prostitute themselves
For cosmetic gains.
Are we redefining pulchritude
Mouthing social themes?
Converting silicone assets
And marketing post mortem sight
For demi-gods to sell?
When the cacophony of a genderless crooner
Becomes cultural music to ears
It’s time, my friend, to search our souls!
