Recognize media stars at a tabloid glance and be drawn to their empty
buzz like some mindless moth
Chat
endlessly about their spoiled ex-wives, movie roles, diets and
cosmetic surgeries - as you decay
Keep
taking for granted the guys that show up for nothing in the middle of
the night - at
auto wrecks
Dont
bother to notice as your tons of chemically-tainted, disease-ridden
garbage is safely removed
Accept
that anemically-brave closet CEOS
deserve Mega$ even though accountants cant measure why
Unthinkingly
assume plastic surgeons contribute more to society than lowly
wastewater engineers
Squander
your limited attention on illiterate and amoral entertainers
spouting misogyny and violence
Ignore
those who thought they went to defend your freedom, now lost to
drugs, alcohol and abuse
Pay
so much attention to steroided sports heroes that they
actually believe in their false grandeur
Never
give a thought to those who keep the electricity, natural gas and
water at your lame fingertips
Trust
that a 19-stall garage filled with sports cars is undeniably one apex
of man’s achievement
Forget
about losers who just show up every day, doing the right thing, just
to keep our wheels on
For
it’s obvious that luxury yachts and multiple, empty 2nd
homes really are among our ultimate goals
Sponsoring
NASCAR, a derby pony or a racing boat remain among the very highest
of human pursuits
Hey,
don’t let your babies grow up to be social workers, teachers or
community health advocates
Fatuously
covet the faux-renaissance WalMart size mansions with which they
express their true selves
Just
keep wasting your precious time on their latest clothes, new
hairstyles and plunging necklines
Covet
their endless cosmetic procedures, personal trainers and 24 hr
security as true fulfillment
Spend
hours ogling the exhibitionist outfits at their vapid, staged,
narcissistic Hollywood events
Kick
back in ignorant obesity on that dirty couch and gossip about them -
On a first name basis
Remain
blind to those who arrive so quickly to care for the disgustingly
sick and the horribly injured
Keep
on thinking cooks, gardeners, maids and chauffeurs bring true meaning
to human existence
Remain
quite sure that expensive jewelry is high on your list of this life’s
greatest enrichments
Admire
their simple habits, waited on hand and foot and cocooned from all
distressing realities
Absolutely
believe they gain great wisdom within the total isolation of their
utter self-absorption
Closely
follow their psychopathic behavior and actually worship it as the
zenith of man’s attainment
Believe
that the CEO’s blindingly sociopathic greed is really a healthy and
patriotic entrepreneurship
Pity
their brave and lonely struggle to avoid, yet encourage the constant
pressure of prying cameras
Hang
on their every word and endlessly spout their canned media
pronouncements to each other
Really
feel their pain for having to substitute drugs, food and alcohol for
any real life experiences
Grant
their neurotic existence meaning with a rapt attention that merely
drains your own short time
Trust
that spotless private jets and securely-gated compounds further their
capitalist enlightenment
Remain
fully convinced that being waited on hand and foot lifts the human
spirit to its highest level
And
don’t forget that Lotto ticket when you pick up your next 44 oz
BigGulp and giant bag of Doritos
Dream
that you too enjoy their lifestyle as you drown in pathetic negative
savings rate consumerism
Wisely
know money
aint everything - cause they said so – even as you watch them
spending yours
