Faces plastered on merchandise.
Is that really necessary?
Bright colors yelling at you.
Angry people screaming in your face.

Sell, sell.
Must sell.

Screaming and more screaming.
"Deals, deals, deals!! Buy one get one 20% off!"
Then they take the money right out of your pocket.

Shit, shit, and useless shit is what they sell.
Shit, shit, and useless shit is what you buy.

And a special treat for the kids.
Think about the times when one gift was enough.
Buy them a lollypop, and they were content.
Now the colors yell in their faces,
And the people scream in their ears,
As the commercials get louder and louder.
"Mommy mommy can I get this?
But mommy why?!
You don't love me," they exclaim and pout and whine.
Exclaim and pout and whine.

Greed is now inherent in their blood.
Children learning from the world,
Lusting for lust,
Greedy for greed,
Hungry for everything.
