Tired are we not
But overwhelmed by opportunities
Capitalism laughs into our empty wallets
But when we’re not crying back
Economy gets frightened
They hunt us down
When we won’t buy
What we don’t need
But need to want
Like commercials suggest
They need our desire
So they will continue to hire
Marketing slaves for B2C
Can’t you see
It’s useless
When you’re overdoing it?
Who needs all the varieties of useless products
That only catch dust
But no attention?
Try to enjoy the stuff you have
Don’t make money to spend it
Except for charity!
Trust me:
Your personality will grow.

A very good text indeed! I just do not want to spam so I do not comment every text I like :)

You can’t spam, even if you tried 😊 There are real spams I need to delete every day, though. Lots of Russian bots!

The Russians are for you – the Chinese for me :) Maybe some day, with the help of AI – those bots will start to really like your poems :)

They already do. But I’d rather take less likes but from real humans 🙂
