A satirical (?) look at society

The shadows of material gain pollute our minds,
forcing us into lives of production and procedure.
Making us delve even deeper into our selves
To sell off any resemblance of humanity left within
We live in a world where economics and the tainted pleasures
of those in power dictate the gospel as they see fit.
Creating factions and ghettos of society craving for the
wealth and opportunity that will never come.
Our masters sit back in wide eyed glee as the rest of us fight
and compete for their dregs.
In a time of global enterprise and so-called global interest,
unity is a mirage and conflict, control and progress at any cost,
the rallying call for all.

State
Order
Chaotic
Incompatible
Enclosed
Tyranny

The television is on
Broadcasting its message to all who sit in awe
Consuming the messages of false hope and despair,
and fantasizing us with dreams of wonder and fulfilment
Becoming pawns in a minorities plans
with dulled senses and dulled expressions the latest craze for all
----
What a life we try to live,
amongst the hustle of others.
Each trying to do the same thing,
yet in a multitude of ways.
The joy of being an individual,
having the opportunity to try what you will.
To succeed or fail.
The choice is all yours.
Is this all planned in advance?
Or do we trudge along blindly?
Can't wait till the end,
when all will be told.
