TINA

Memories fade like a newspaper cutting in a frame from yesteryear.
The dream approaching platform ten, does not stop here. Not stop here.
Bargain hunter-gatherers compare discounts below half price,
the simple boy is deeply immersed in the world of his hand held device.
Between Corinthian columns the role of Monkey Harris is rehearsed,
audition over, into the night urbanian hordes disperse.
The restlessness of myth is traded in dealing rooms,
besuited, consciousless zombies feast on tomorrows gloom..
We are all customers now, there is no such thing as society.
Quality, value, rewards, emptiness in every shade and variety.
But the lifestyle that you ordered is currently out of stock.
Thank you for using TINA, the heartbleat of the flock.
And ideas left unattended will be removed and may be destroyed,
have you swiped your self  checkout card? Resistance is null and void.
Was this template for tomorrow ever the voters choice?
consumer charters, opinion polls. Profits that have no voice.
Read our price guarantee, enter our loyalty maze.
There is no alternative. There are no reported delays.

  1. Reminds me a little of Radiohead's 'Fitter Happier'.
