pledged

they've run away
with my America
took glorification
of property
to great heights
at the expense of people
made objects important
made greed a virtue
where is it written that
an expensive car big house
fine dining fine wine
represent a good life
that celebrity and fashion
should be envied by all
emulated from birth
to death a life time
of material progress
blind to any other need
our sun is setting
it will continue to set
because our interests are
no bigger or beyond ourselves.
