consuming consumption

they cough the tribulation
from lightning strike
smokestacks
into the air
like desperation
for the masses
through gases
poisoned
with
rancid intention.

with products to buy
we get high
on the trouble
they peddle
from factories
in third world countries
just like our own.

the sound machine
produces low rumbles
to say:
you need to pay
for the right to stay
docile
in your consumption.

: we build it to break
so you'll buy
whatever we make
a second time.

: we give you
what you want
tenfold
and hold out
on the next production cycle
to ensure
you're
docile in your consumption.

: and if it gets
too hot
in the kitchen,
we'll sure be switching
to a new production cycle
so you're none the wiser
to the geyser of shit
you're soon to inherit
from lightning strike
smokestacks
bellowing poison
into the air
like desperation
for the masses
through gases
tainted
with
rancid intention
and the love
of something new
just for you and
the other hundred million
customers
who can afford
to gorge
on the docile nature
of the consumption
we're selling.
