You allow and
Invite and entice
This society to
Infiltrate your
Temple with the
Poisons of this
Fallacious life;
Most, without a
Thought or moment
Spent wondering
About the poisons
And this effluent
Of a cost-effective
Society.

Food is poisoned,
Marred by the
Greed of cost-
Effectiveness;
Air is poisoned,
Sullied by the
Greed of cost-
Effectiveness;
Water is poisoned,
Marred by the
Greed of cost-
Effectiveness;
The mind is
Poisoned by the
Greed that is
Cost-effectiveness.
Life and health
And love and war
Are undermined
By this odious
Cost-effectiveness.

Blindly society
Attempts to cure
The diseases but
Not the patients,
Filling the unwary
With cost-effective
Poisons, and removing
What it cannot contend
With; ignorant of
Society’s poisons which
Are at the root of
All that society
Cannot contend with.

Society pollutes
All society comes
Into contact with:
The universes,
External and internal,
Seen and unseen.

Nefarious society
Exerts the influence
Of the millions
On its own surroundings,
On the environment
Which must support it –
Environment internal and
External, seen and
Unseen.

Society defecates on
Itself, luxuriating
In its own defecation;
Deluding itself in the
Satisfaction that its
Incontinent of diarrhea
Will do no harm.
Deluding itself in the
Ignorant denial of
Its responsibility
For its own future.
Deluding itself in the
Hope that more is better
And more produced,
Cost-effectively,
Will produce more harmony
In the universes of the
Minds of these persons
Whom delude themselves
With their own greed.

Society’s silent and
Inept war on its own
Insecurity and
Insatiability
Masks but does not
Solve; hides but
Does not cure;
Ensconces but cannot
Secure a safe
Society.

The rules of this
Inefficacious war
Are made by the same
As those for whom
Cost-effectiveness
Is the guiding force:
Rules which can no more
Secure society’s future
Than the documents
On which they are inscribed.
Rules developed and
Implemented
Cost-effectively.

How vain it is to think
That the masses of persons
Whom, after lifetimes of abortive
Mithridatism, think nothing of
Polluting their own
Body temples with the
Poisons of a cost-effective
Society; who think nothing
Of polluting their minds
With the media of a
Cost-effective society;
Who think ineffectually:
Vain it is to think these
Same persons in this same
Society could ever think
Anything of the profanation
Of their own environments,
Internal and external,
They allow and entice and
Make subservient to their
Cost-effective greed.

This veil of self
Indulgent technology
Can never be as the veil of
Marriage of society with
The environment that
Supports it, but
Only the cerement
Of society.
