Capital gains



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
