Breathe the quality and drink the values
Eat of the fruit of the tree of nonsense
Nod vigorously at the tirade of the suit
Applaud his victory that's at your expense
Buy what they sell and don’t use any of it
Let those that lie around you remain asleep
The sage of sales, the prophet of profit
The sin studded cufflinks of an honest to God priest
Pile the bodies high in the desert sun
Trickling through the sand making new fuel
Preserving the fight for generations to come
In the gaze of the moral majority’s favorite tool
Life in mass production breeds thin minds
Ears that can’t hear and heads that won’t grow
Shackle yourself to the lie that binds
Sanity lessens with each knowledge you know

Outstanding.
Passion percolates throughout this clear, direct penning.
