Ice age, stone age, bronze age,
iron age and the middle ages,
space age, information age,
bondage, turn the pages.
 
Wrestling with middle-aged,
sucking up the new age
but when push comes to Black Friday shove
it’s the PackAge.
 
They let you track-a-package
as far as the e-eye can see
but what about clean water and relief,
pinpoint delivery to a foreign or home country?
 
Xmas time is coming
just sign on the X................... dotted line,
Amazon will ship you in spades but in the true Amazon
Indigenous Peoples killed for a gold mine.[1]
 
Amazon gets tax-breaks
hence discounts galore,
while Bozo’s making billions
at the expense of the mom-and-pop store.
 
And the House of Representatives “approved the nearly
$700 billion National Defense Authorization Act of 2018
that aims to boost war outlays by $80 billion”[2]
-- if not this, then WTF is a crime scene?
 
The media hype talks-up the enemy du jour
priming the petrol pump for the war-hawk’s meal,
it’s a vicious cycle of bravado and bombs
a sick business-as-usual PackAge deal.
 
Now many a gift comes nicely wrapped
just think of the tasty banana,
but not everyone can afford to pray and wait
for a spiritual delivery of manna.
 
The US Treasury, Facebook, YouCaring and WePay blocked
“relief fundraising to Iran quake victims,”[3]
such petty fine print deserves an un-humanitarian award
be given to those fascist rectums.
 
“How refreshing, the whinny of a packhorse
unloaded of everything!”
