The Consumer Religion

After a two week absence from the blog, I'm back. This time with a short something to ponder over; here goes:

Consumer glory, fed by the patience of the people.
Merciful conglomerates oversee the seething digital market place.
A raging tide of red figures parts for a retail prophet to lead an army of bidders and investers for whom there seems little else but the cash in their pockets and the wealth they seek.
Blind are they to the affairs that really govern this world and to the condemning forces that overwhelm their own imagined microcosm.
This is their religion, this is their consumate legacy.
Is this really what the world's come to?
Forgetting the importance of the now ordinary concepts of love and family, of sanctity and faith and of pleasure in these things has become the norm.
Once wrapped up so tight, it's difficult to unravel the fabric that holds the greed in place.
This is their religion, this is their consumate legacy.
