Today’s soulless culture
Nibbles at your soul like a vulture,
It saps your energy
Because its mindlessness with your inner being has no synergy,
With lust as its creed,
It promotes unabashed greed,
Armed with its project of dumbing down your mind,
It is certainly one of its kind,
Your sense you have to pawn
To be a part of the needless consumption it spawns,
This culture of vulgar excess
Has landed us in an ecological mess,
It has made mincemeat of our moral being,
It has so distorted our way of seeing,
The way over our eyes it puts wool,
It makes each one of us a self-obsessed narcissistic fool,
Under its searing impact it has left us so reeling
That we have bid adieu to every worthwhile feeling,
Caught up in its dangerously venal game of dice,
What do we make of this culture of high rises but low life?
