Chronicle

i. the beginning

No more roses in the shop windows,
But televisions with,
The faces of MP’s
Black mirrors glare;
If you love, then buy.

---

ii. the incentive

Packed high, the towers of Babylon
Shiny new goods, in cardboard
Casing. Idols for
A new age:
Deities of a modern world.

---

iii. the result

“Do you have it? Really?
Well then, good day,
I’ll see you in another way”
Or so they say
When all is lost
And society
Falters.
