The Carrot is Always Different

In case you've been
too busy to notice:
the currency in this culture
is the promise
of a quick fix
to completeness

the most obvious examples
smiling laughing pairings
engagement rings
model homes
baby clothes
erections-on-demand
life insurance policies
and multiple orgasms
of sexual and non-sexual natures
are dangled in front
of the money holders
with a promise:

buy this
possess that
master it
and you will be
complete.

The carrot is always different
but the stick remains the same.

Ok,
so now you know.

You may resume your pursuit now.
