Greed is Good for You
Chuck your ego
from off your high horse
cast your selfish
conceited desires
to the ground
where they may lay,
they may rot
and decay.
Do this everyday
while they may say
‘please clasp your hands to pray!’
Offering palms
firstborn babes
sacrifice spirit
effigy from clay
handover the rib
to these devils in disguise
send them a soul
on white wings
and silver platters
to the highest bidders
of hell.
Sell
us
your
Soul.
The free market shouts its earnings
from atop it’s throne of blood
skulls perched beneath obese cheeks
as gluttonous lips are licked by the tepid tongue of vanity
yet claim freedom from profanity
as it curses the mud smudged masses
down from its gold-trimmed chains
treating us as
animals in cages
and books with no pages.
Then write it!
Tell us how you love
being raped
on daytime TV
and late night infomercials
Tell me how you like
it
Now that you’re
gone.
Stefan Sidelnick is everything and nothing at once. Sometimes he is a poet, other times a comedian, but mostly he is lazy and will post whatever he feels like.
