Conversations With God

Life is money and promotions.
It's stabbing others in the back and gossiping around the water cooler.
It's toilet paper commercials featuring cutesy bears,
and sports cars mid-life-crisis suburbans can't afford,
flashes of metallic red and growls of
oversized engines tearing up absurd racetracks.
It's keeping up with the Joneses and back-to-school sales;
it's Botox and antidepressants and Viagra.
It's diet plans and shopping on the weekends,
sports on TV and posting vacation photos on Facebook.

And so we hurdle mindlessly to our doom.
