.......Shopping Poem by NikMorgan ...

Everybody’s looking for something
Everyone wants to get off
We are the consumer
More is never enough

This is the oracle of all groceries
A monopoly of convenience
They show us what we want
They show us how they care
And we couldn’t give a damn
Conscience isn’t cheap
So they blind us with bargains
Money doesn’t talk
Money takes

This is the lair of the monster that never sleeps
It’s too big to be nimble
So they lumber on
Suffocating the past
Leaving empty shells
Like yesterday’s news

This is all pretend
A room full of bad actors
Losing the plot
