Endless Marketplace

capitalism is an endless marketplace
they even sell war - the idea of control
a revolving ad on the eyelids
what have you conquered lately?             a day?
what have you killed recently?                a goal?
I love you to death and
am ready to prove it

here
 here is a bomb
I am a philanthropist
  so giving in my taking
even non-profits monetize on poverty
honesty is a weapon                          too
   this is an arms race to enlightenment

what lies beyond this field?
plain-clothes-vision-espionage
your line is tapped
     so is mine
but can we read between the noise
profit says consume
and we are full of gluttony

don’t stare into an eye too long
it can blind
are you a slave to your senses
 or do they serve you?
have you bought into the idea of reality
                                                                      yet?
this is the first trap      and the last selling point

capitalism is an endless marketplace
what are you a product of?

This is not an after poem, but it is definitely inspired by aja monet’s Florida Water
