Selling happiness

 

Happiness is just a purchase away

whilst you walk these grey streets

as the wintery sleet coats your skin.

Happiness is a warming blanket to ease the sting.

A filter showing only the colours of spring.

Purchase power purchases power,

watch as the lesser sheep cower at your feet.

or blank out their bleats

with the new shiny, Ai powered,

noise cancelling, ultra sleek ear protectors

that come free with every purchase.

Just sign on the dotted line

and we will share only the best beats.

 

For just the price of one soul

you too can ignore the misery,

escape the tragedy of a world

that wants you to fail on repeat.

 

Happiness is a purchase away.

We have the best medication to

make it seem like the sun is shining again.

You will see through the fog pollution screen

for just the small sum of a lifetime of dreams.

What is life anyway? Work till you drop to pay

for a short getaway to escape the nightmares

that you see if you open your eyes too early.

 

Happiness is a purchase away.

Just give us your body,

on call 24/7, 365 days a year

and we will provide a smile

once in a while, just one, when it seems

your life is flowing down the drain.

But you will suck it up

like it’s the finest nectar

from a gold-laced cup.

 

Happiness is just a purchase away.

Take what we are selling

and plough it down your throat.

You won’t cope without the latest technology,

how will you survive without our special

extended warrantee on life?

Just sign on the dotted line.

An x will do just fine.

 

Happiness is a purchase away.

Ignore the world you see.

Just one chip installed in a painless procedure

will take the darkness

and replace it with something pretty.

Don’t try to find happiness any other way.

You won’t find it in the flowers that sway,

we will take those away.

It won’t be in the sunshine

as that has been clouded since we

set our plans in play.

Happiness comes when we say,

and you will be in arrears till your death day.

Give in. Sign on the dotted line.

It won’t cost you a dime,

just a tiny piece of your mind

but just remember

we can factory reset at any time.
