Commercial Culture Poem by John Sensele

Commercial culture, you're phony
You embarrass our values and customs
That you sacrifice on the altar of the gluttony
You've embraced at the sound of twisted tomtoms.

Commercial culture, get a one-way ticket to Hell
Where you rot for good
Until victims of your vulture vocation ring the bell
That shows genuine stewards of culture forgive you in mellow mood.

Commercial culture, you're worse than a dagger
That digs into backs
Of Zambians whom you stagger
By your fake fabrication packs.

Commercial culture, you're a crocodile
That devours docile drivers
Whom you trick with guile
Instead of turning them into success strivers.

Commercial culture, you're an oxymoron
That says one thing and does the opposite
Because as a moron
You don't in cogent conscience a substance seat.

Commercial culture, you're a daylight robber
Who steals from end users
Of your service whom you clobber
Until they submit by coercion to abusers.

Commercial culture, you're a culture killer
That distorts culture to extort
Much money from customers as a dealer
In usury, confusion, extortion, exploitation of the recidivist resort.

Commercial culture, you're a confidence trickster
Who exploits lack of erudition
To project yourself as a star
In an insane mission to popular perdition.
