Human doing…running, hurrying, working
Keeping a harried pace, got to appease the system of expectation
There is a prescription for success, Purdue Pharma’s got your back
The gateway drug is administered in the womb, every parent wants their child to have what they didn’t
Born conditioned to an economy of addiction
All the material excess that defines success
Multiple degrees, six figures, colonial home in the gentrified neighborhood, two kids attending dance and soccer, SUV and sports car, RV for the weekends, pontoon boat for the lake cabin
Human being…hollow, vacant stare, zombie of consumption
Seeking acceptance longing for belonging, hoping for meaning, chasing the American dream as it fades in the dystopian video game
Sad realization, suppressed, oppressed, depressed
Return to the script of the industrial revolution, work harder, work longer, work, work, work
Do more, compress life, living, in a narrow band width
What are the Jone’s doing?
The Marshall’s are going to Disney land again.
The Brown’s got a new quad.
Extend the credit, mortgage the house, again, find a side hustle
Capitalism, economy of addiction, is the prescription for an ailing America
Addicted to work and doing
Addicted to accumulating status symbols
Addicted to emotional numbing agents; alcohol, drugs, coffee, sugar
Addicted to distraction; TV, movies, concerts, video games, sporting events
Addicted to escapism; blame the poor, blame the migrants, blame the black, brown, muslim, jew, lesbian, gay, liberals, progressives
Capitalism, economy of addiction
Deny, lie, refuse, reject accountability and responsibility
Shout, spew, rage, rant, insults, threat, telltales of truth
Suppress, repress, oppress the fear, shame, guilt, sadness, anxiety
Masquerade, pompous, profusion and confusion
Embrace authoritarian contradictions, peddle the delusion, American tradition is under attack
Elevate the colonial notion that freedom is a flag, 4x4 pick-up, and a paycheck
Capitalism, economy of addiction
Still a puppet of British Imperialism
