Pulsating pixels
Signs of strange light
Spray blazing messages
Into the night
Boards of bright stars
Dazzle and blink
Manipulate man's
Freedom to think
Mountains of products
Darkshadow faith
Consumer religion
Is taking God's place
Churches try slogans
Shine from T.V.
Promise salvation
As wallets are squeezed
Redesigned souls
New and improved
Marked down to sell
Or reduced to move
We are not frightened
By sin or by guilt
We purchase the lies
Fill our tanks to the hilt
Our thirst for eternity
Digs wishing wells
We fill with the juices
Young bodies sell
The need and the greed
Our neon defends
Opens bright mouth
And swallows amens
Heaven for sale?
Not on your life!
God won't wholesale
Despite our ad vice
c) C. Butler 1997
