The Cost Of Capitalism

To the human face Capitalism has created trouble All kinds of emotions have nested there Some corrosive and full of venom And others full of sorrow and tears Destroying the ability to smile and laugh Erecting a permanent wall of defence The human face has been turned into a shield To the human hands Capitalism has created a tool To dig through the tunnel of hope Or bury the tears of suffering To handle the pressures of business Or punch the face of the enemy Creating an unstable weapon The human hands can caress you Or arrest you To the human mind Capitalism has created a landmine Not fully buried or exposed The human mind has created both fear and hopelessness Puncturing the veil of our tranquillity The human mind is ever submerged in thoughts Thoughts of selfishness, deceit and anger Found their way into our heads To torment our substance of being To create a ripple effect of pain, fear and sorrow To the human race Capitalism has exposed the gullibility of the human psyche Very easily tempted and full of selfishness The human psyche is full of uncertainty One minute it's embracing Love The next moment it is committing atrocities All in the name of power and money The human psyche is not nourished by the pot of materialism The human psyche is destroyed by all the modern technological achievements Falling deep into the abyss The human psyche is a ticking time bomb Whether nuclear holocaust Or climate change The human psyche will bury us one day Unless we change our ways And find our true self Capitalism is going to destroy us one day ©
