Cultivated Is The Culture
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Economic capitalism.
Valued as a need to feed greed.
With a teasing of a variety of products.
Done to solicit personal gain to profit.
Nonstop around the clock.
From season to season.
To celebrate another holiday.
Giving reason and purpose to spend a dollar.
Just to shop!
This is...
A cultivating of a culture,
Addicted and cultivated...
To worship and pledge allegiance to defend.
An undying loyalty and kept faith.
Credited to debts.
Yet to depths unknown!
'Come on and wake me.
Shake me.
When and if this madness is over.
Come on and make me see reality.
Whenever this madness to have it is over!'
More are the people shouting words,
No one hears...
Heard,
To accept.
Or object to the effect,
Yet met to have lived.
Nor regret!
