Materiality Principle

Transitioning from things belonging to people
To a world of people belonging to things
Monstrous, majestic, materialistic joy
Enshrouding all trouble that it brings
Phones to fill up phony dates
Tablets to eradicate pains of books
Surreptiously substituting simple hearts
With filtered images and bogus looks

Unembellished, unblemished, uncorrupted child
Falling in feverish frenzies to feed
Suave, savvy, sexy girl
Forging filial links with greed
Manufacturing maquillage masked memories
By being tousled by tattletales true
Your eyes once windows to a soul
Are mere mirrors reflecting you

Witnessing factitious faces
False accents, breasts, birdbrained broods
A newfangled net of narcissistic friends
That’s bursting with bumptious, juicing dudes
Bodily bros, bawdily adjusted
Bizzare botheration keeps increasing
So woefully wasted for respite
Amongst materially altered jigsaw pieces
