- The Crowd Communicated With Me
- buy a flat screen TV, an LCD
- nine thousand Euros for a plasma
- was a bit too much, is what I told me
- I made that credit card slide, feeling good inside
- now I had a flat screen, to wow dates and friends
- if only I had the ends, oops, crowd talking loud, again
- oh, I don’t watch much TV, new, iPhone oh yes,
- want to know what I’ll do next, yep,
- gone to get a new iPhone, with all of the new apps
- making that credit card slide, again,
- made a new friend, the smiling sales woman
- another monthly payment
- and I am really stressed with this high ass rent
- Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving,
- Christmas, damn these Holidays roll,
- March Madness, NBA Final, World Series, Superbowl
- got to follow the crowd, keep feeling good inside
- only after the credit card slide, do I think
- my finances are on the brink
- oh, my, a new jersey, the Classic Jordan shoe
- four hundred dollars, never take this out of the box
- I waited and waited in line, just like at Christmas time
- to get the best Deal, at pricing, enticing a steal
- for more junk, I don’t want or need
- but my consumerism, I have to feed
- moved, by the mania of the crowd
- within me, a quiet scream so loud
- until its emotional, devotional divinity
- or insanity, and they, will never be
- finished with me, as long as I got money
- to spend, making new friends, salesmen
- nervousness aside, got to make,
- another credit card slide…R.D.Revilo
