Modern Money Making Machine

The instruction book to life is being written,
On an easy to read black and white display,
And it’s published, every twenty four hours,
On the internet super high way.

And these instructions must have been written,
By a genius using words from above,
Because they are about how to be happy,
Like “Ten things needed when you’re in love.”

There’s “Six strategies to rebound from failure,”
And “Ten things that we should always doubt”.
There’s “Four ways to convert anger into action,”
And “When to be quiet and when to shout.”

There are thousands of these pages uploaded,
To help make our souls all healthy and clean,
With adverts to scroll through each moral guide,
Through our emotional money making machine.
