Chained

A soul so chained it dragged the weight
Through the graveyard to the vast estate
Into a life money bound  
Pretensious living their great crown
Money their god and baptism
Soul chained by materialism
No longer life of the party
Caught between life and death..bungee
Chained soul needs an exorcism
To free from consumerism

possibly unfinished

Perfect timing for Halloween, it is scarey how consumerism has such a scarey effect on us humans. Well said. In answer to your question on my poem "Window Pain" I am speaking from an earlier time. I am thankfuly blessed beyond what I ever could have imagined. Thanks for inquiring.
