Spiritualism and Capitalism

What overarching purpose
Can bolster effective sales volume
Signaling the rise
of Reified and refined portent vibes

On our maps of locomotion
We strive incessantly for meaning
The moment tongue strikes palette
We search for expression to enliven the soul

Playing match maker with a bed of stars
Reaching the highest ambition to climb
Can there be a fusion-
From shrewd calculation to powerful beliefs

The belief in the soul
And life caressed by pressing tones
Strikes the delight of the market
And the passion walkways of crystal night

When mundane exhibits sputter and fail
Will the rise of meaning
Set the tone for money unveiled
Streaming out of scripted dance
Of religious symbol and capital chance
