Retail therapy

not just the paper that you read
the advert that you hardly notice
seeping its spores blow
and PR men are at its hub

twist your arm when you least expect
flash pop ups on the web and net
creating such a selfie
apeasment for yor discontent

that retail balm so hollow
just one click and its off the shelf
your ultra ego gratified for now
spent to up to your credit score

trends for today and not tommrow
the sweat shops sewing 24/7
mountains of unwanted commerce
the PR mens lies of promise

the spin the falsehood underpinned
obesity of wants for all within our reach
the container ship just tap and search
child labour there to do that work

that's the tread for you to follow
the pittance for the skill
the dark age that's in your wardrobe
 small fingers lost the terms of bondage

the blood stained hangers on my conscience
