Wicked Soughing

When the wicked aired commercials
they never thought they'd watch.
Till they all became intriqued
and failed to see the botch.

When they all went on to shopping
and no one really cared.
As their lust for making money
meant much more work despaired.

And their greed became more desperate
as their products grew more cheap.
And they raised their prices higher
as their stuff broke down in heap.

And the Earth became polluted
as the wicked gave comply.
And their leaders earned our praises
where the deaths of all apply.

And the Devil stood there waiting
for the world to be as one.
When he offered us our freedom
to which we'd all succumb.
