Desire in Commercial Lust

There is no desire in Commercial Lust.
Nothing is striven for
Only pulled away
Stripping heart from mind from soul
And draining the breath of life
From a dying orchid of decay.
There is a weeping sadness
In the shadowbox we see
On an entertainment shelf
Holding a TV.
The bright mag covers all the same
Flowing through the malls
Show models in their creepy stares
Drowned in alcohol.
The fortunate among us
Will come to realize
That to truly build a better self
Takes mental exercise.
