It used to be that only royalty and clergy had the means to Express their extravagant success with status symbols that could only be furnished by the hands of the oppressed
But now we the developed best are all addicted to excess, it's unsustainable to live like this but the alternative is worse than death, only the wicked rest
imagine not leveraging your debt
imagine not grabbing for your share of what's dwindling and left
imagine anybody passing the marshmallow test
when all the marshmallows are turning into a melted mess
fast fashion fascists
classist classic shift
when everybody wants to get ahead
lip service if they're lucky to those left behind
that flaccid faction shtick
class action crash the ship
it's always been the quick and the dead
and the fast are getting faster all the time
