Lies: Poem #4 Prompt #2

I feel that Corporate America is a wonderful place to live. 

We get to choose and buy and the Free-Market dictates how free we are, I mean who wouldn't like to aspire to look like someone they aren't, talk like someone they do not sound like, and dress in very expensive clothes ;) to make a good impression!


Friendly, cordial warm hearted picture perfect homes where families don't fight and everyone gets along because if ever there is a problem, instead of confronting it, well, we can go shopping instead. Max out our credit cards, Plastic is great isn't it? 


Our young people fed the truth through those great Disney channel depictions that even include the diversity of our nations populace, remember; blacks, whites, Latino/as, Asians, and that lost group even (Native Americans) (such a weird group).  They all live in the same skyscrapers in Seattle, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and of course San Francisco.  Getting along, side by side, like the melting pot of this two hundred year old nation (the product of good ol' traditional capitalism). Never mind any misunderstandings that the nation was built on and lets just not mention colonization, unless we're talking about the thirteen colonies because those were important. 


Well, I hope your life is going just as great as mine, without any types of struggles, because, you know, the free-market keeps us all free and able to choose which great clothes to wear, kitchens to remodel, and don't forget the most formidable of all placing cute little sweaters on our tiny dogs. 

Ain't life GRAND!!!
