consume

when we consume
we make them happy
so they can produce more
so we can consume more
they know us not
but it mattereth not
put it on a pallet
ship it out
it will improve your health
it will speed up your trip
it will make you attractive
and it will make them happy
as they produce more and more

The Price Is Right

there are species to save
global warming to abate
governments to topple
financial portfolios to protect
car companies to bailout
but not right now
a faint echo
of The Price Is Right
echos through the wall
and tomorrow
we will save the planet
