crazy makers on the loose
hawking wares that have no use
convince us that we are in need
of things that cannot plant a seed
of hope or help or majesty
but sparkle oh so prettily
until we shed some paper green
comes in maroon or tangerine!
drive it faster shiny red
precious moments in our heads
limits set at seventy
but feel the power-here's the key
point a to b is no concern
it's how we're styling when we turn
our state of mind will coincide
with empty pockets to divide
make some plans and make a splash
it will cost a lot of cash
and we won't know that we've been had
since for a moment we'll be glad
then the hollow hits our hearts
we'll wonder of the missing parts
late night blinks our new tv
infomercial's sure to please
whip the plastic out and call
it's one eight hundred after all
overnight delivery
will get us where we want to be
still, none will feed the empty soul
no purchase makes our spirit whole
so be aware with no excuse
the crazy maker's on the loose!
