closed eyes

I would buy an undesired pastry from an eager and honest peddler
To know that a good pastry would be there when wanted

But i would not spend half a year’s minimum wage
To buy a shiny ring
To keep capitalism’s wheels grinding, grinding
Wheels that chewed up this country’s soul
A long time ago

There are those who appreciate the difference
Between Bill Blass and Sean John
But the difference between right and profitable…

Thank you, Mr. Puffy, for at least not pretending
While Mr. Pitt goes to Japan to shill for beer

Hold on tight to your 401K
And close your eyes
