Appreciated Americans
My latest President
also appreciated Americans
he may never meet
or hear
or smell
Not to mention out to get
ever better tasted,
with or without informed consent,
not so vulnerably seen
or transparently felt
with copassioned
trauma-free intent,
yet not actually met,
just yet
And
I am confused
that any President would feel
he needs to say this,
as if appreciating Americans
were a partisan platform
advocating politically
and economically unusual
universal health
and safe global

The Consumers Mental Slavery
The blood is dripping
Greed creeping
The towers tipping
The powerful sipping the sweet tea
Made from the blood and sweat of poverty
Exploitation
Rules the nation
Propaganda at every station
Look and see
There is no more you or me
Just gears in the machine of society
Don’t lie to me
You let them lie to me and you
And we buy everything

Producers and Consumers
producers and consumers
an ongoing war must exist
the battle cry is abundance or scarcity
abundant goods in an open market is the list
scarce goods in a protected market is a calamity
abundance leads to less sacrifice
which is never bad for the consumer
scarcity of goods leads to a higher price
good for producers but not the laborer
lower prices leave more

Consumers
Clearcutting the planet,at a mile a minute
caring nothing at all about the lives that are in it.
Soon with no more forests to fell.
YOU"LL pack up your stuff and leave us the hell.

Velveeta Shortage Alarms Consumers
Velveeta Shortage Alarms Consumers
By Elton Camp
Short supply is beginning to ensure
Cheese lovers don’t know what to do
There’s panic buying in the store
Unsure when they’ll be any more
Velveeta’s so good and healthy too
Gourmets are hoping it’s not true
So all who love its rubbery taste
Rush to the market with all haste
There’s good reason to fear
From shelves

Conspicuous Consumers
Countless millions have
Only just enough to eat
Not all this
Selfish waste of
Precious resources and an
Idolatry of
Consumer goods
Uneeded for life,
On so-called time saving
Utliity.
Somehow, we've lost a
Conscious awareness
Of our true
Nature preferring to
Splurge into some imagined
Utopia through
Materialism leaving an
Ecological disaster from our
Rapacious
Spending to our grandchildren.
