Materialism is an illness - poem

.

Materialism is an illness

That makes our hearts get cold in frozen stillness

Are we just monkeys

That eat and fuck and fight like warring donkeys?

The body wants to satisfy

The greed and lust for power that never die

It must be we are fooled

By those out to control us so we are ruled

Solution lies in working, doing what we are meant to do

Sanctification comes from raising, standing up against those who boo

Benediction grows in lulling, resting in a state of holiness

Immortificaton is in igniting, flaring up for right nothing less

The spirit is no illness

It raises our hearts, lifts them up from broken stillness

Nothing against monkeys

But i just don't want to be one of these zombies

The spirit wants to satisfy

The greed and lust for love that never die

Not longer to be fooled

But out to control myself so i cannot be ruled
