Materialism -

The idolization of wealth

The deification of pleasure

The adulation of power

Is the nemesis of modern humanity

Alas

The cult of mammon

The peril of prosperity

Stifles the soul

And stultifies the spirit

Priding in self gratification

Reveling in value ruination

And swaggering in ecological destruction

Isn’t this the ultimate descent

From the heights of nobility

To the depths to futility?
