Societal Prescription I

Living the lap of luxury all that glitter isn’t gold Whatever ‘retail therapy’ provides is not worth the soul Compassion mixed with a dash of guilt thinking of the ‘have not’s But it is not enough to stop waiting at the door for the UPS drop-offs Money, greed, power these are the values of today Torn between love of man or feeding the cliché’ Keep up with the Jones’ bombards the airwaves, everything airbrushed in between When all looks just so, she’s a size 2, he’s GI Joe, and baby completes the scene Then you will have ‘arrived’ so this is what ‘they’ say
