Consumerism

Location

Consumerism
By-products of lifestyle obsession. Materialistic aggression.
Addicted to supporting self-delusions.
Living off the lynching of our conscious. 
Handcuffed in the ism of consuming. Consumerism.
 
Handcuffed on the basis of our melanin.
Incriminated as the result of our threat. Our threat.
Our threat is rooted in the green that we invest in corporate agencies that tie the knot in our noose.
The dollar that we would die for is the dollar that we are dying for. 
Profits made of our imprisonment. But our imprisonment came only because we wanted to make a profit.
Handcuffed in the ism of consuming. Consumerism.
 
Material gains correlating to our statistical trend of being slain.
But I’m just saying’, we wear name brands because someone told us that shit was cool.
The person telling us that shit is cool is the same person repeatedly benefiting from our sterile condition.
By-products of lifestyle obsession. Materialistic aggression.
Addicted to supporting self-delusions.
Living off of the lynching of our conscious.
Handcuffed in the ism of consuming. Consumerism.
