Corporate Interests
by Thomas Provençal
Self-loathing is an attitude
of a conscious human being.
To align with corporate interests
is to face the wind while peeing.
Modern corporations
are more concerned with money
than protecting social interests
like producing milk and honey.
And yet the people bow
before the altar of success,
measured by the profits
and ignoring all the mess.
Our natural world pooh-poohed upon
in support of economics
while the role of politicians
is reduced to stand up comics.
To champion social justice
and not hog all the meat
is to insult the example
of the corporatist elite
who play with money markets
instead of economic growth,
pretending to be spending,
defending technocratic oath.
In defence of freedom
the people must unite
yet the system keeps us fat enough
to erode our will to fight.
Unconsciousness is dominant
as people fall in line
as a measure of obedience
that the 1% define.
