Nothing survives capitalism
Even my consumer driven
Advertising influenced
Teenager
Bemoans this fact
As news spreads
About the sale
Our daily respite
From the COVID
World
Subsumed by the amoeba
Of market forces
I cannot blame
Mr. Wardle
Who could refuse
Unexpected millions
But
I do blame
The Times
We live in
Where everything
Must be monetized
Capitalized
Owned
Happy New Year
It’s the same
As the old
Exchanging an Ox
For a Tiger
Has done little
To assuage
The machine of greed
That consumes the world
One
word
at
a
time
