Extreme Capitalism
See that man?
Who barks to obey him with his eyebrows arched
while his dog
pukes over your bright-eyed shoes?
See that woman?
Fair mother of the young in her four-by-four who
would sooner strike your
siblings than be late for zumba class again?
See that man?
Polished like a diamond, whose teeth gleam
as he gobbles up your savings
with a satisfying grin for his own rainy day.
See that boy?
That girl?
Texting and tweeting and spitting and bleeping
but not thinking
anymore-
because everything is on Google.
See this as normal?
See us?
Everyday life spiralling into a state of extreme
self – no-one exists: but one.
Not you; not him; not us.
I.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen of the East to our Wild West, where
you will die alone -
in a green desert of greed.
