we worship the markets
at the church of money
where sacred economics
sacrifice society
for communities of fear
mesmerized consumers
bow to the markets genuflecting
in a continuous dopamine frenzy
of consumption
a mass of limbic hypnotized drones
praying for goodies
covert luxury suites and limos
dangling on the tripwires
of the armageddon mushroom cloud
that fogs realization clouds awareness
hides in plain sight
in a race with self induced extinction
supported by studies and statistical tables
and investors who short the future
and go long on destruction
hypnotized by the church of money
in a splurge of the boom or bust
the bust just around he corner
visible for those who can see
but all are trapped in the spell
of the church of money
a trick of evolution with the monkey’s
hand stuck in the cookie jar
doesn’t see the danger
as the house burns all around
cookies baked by focus groups for communion
at the church of money
blind to the reality
of physics and chemistry
the very dark matter
hot gasses filling the sky
and atoms arranged to erase history
