The Bait

 

We ain't but slaves to the slogans that they advertise. Meer mortals trapped in a maze of profit margins and endless supplies. 

Unknowingly being victimized by a greed that's perpetuated by a different breed.  

The heartless type, debt creators, the wrong, yet they'll always make you believe that the price is right.  

Oh how they laugh, and all the while attempt to come up with new and improved ways to better pitch their craft. 

Newly created manifestations of deception, created only for the sole purposes of washing thy brains. A useful tool for fools, with a target that aims directly at their financial gains. 

Yes, "these fools" is exactly how they perceive, with a spectators view point, "set the bait, tell them what they need and with great expectations, they'll buy into the bull that we feed..."  

Only life itself has the greatest value to ones existence, all that other stuff is just madness being sold to the masses... 

With the holidays soon approaching I urge everyone to maintain a sense of acknowledgement that self, family & a love that's all being centered around the most high is and will always be the most important factors... #$DontGetCaughtUp
