...a dark day indeed
Buy it, buy it
Spend, spend, spend
Don't miss out
Today only
Join the herd
Consume, consume
You need this
Get it now!
Best offer
Won't be cheaper
Don't be weird
Confirm, conform
Obey the message
Need it new
Old is out
Shiny things
Quick, fast
Deals won't last
Fight for it
Get in first
Just stop.....
We're being conned
A hedonist orgy
Selfish, no restraint
No thought
To consequence
Billboards, adverts
Emails aplenty
Texts and TV
Enticing, preying
Not cheaper
Not needed
Commercialism, Capitalism
Destructive cycle
Waste, waste, waste
Stifling, poisoning
Use and discard
It adds up
Empty your wallet
Spend don't save
You're being hunted
Wake up
We are slaves
Bound to brands
Spend addicts
Must have more
The shops, the mall
We worship there
Modern church
Decadent altar
Get out, stop
Break the cycle
Take control
Don't be led
Make things last
Recycle, reuse
Challenge practice
Mend stuff
Help the planet
Help yourselves
Evade the predators
Stop the disease
THE END...it will be if we don't change soon
