UNITED SERFS OF AMERICA: The irony of slavery in the land of liberty

	Millions of minions scurrying within giant machines,
	swerving between mammoth wheels 
	and darting between gears in multi-dimensional factories.

	Millions of harried minions pretending to be free,
	yet reacting as their Overlords Predict, 
	unaware of how little they actually think.

	Millions of minuscule minions, 
	hungry to buy the latest commodities,
	hankering after hot dogs and hot songs, 
	pre-programmed to relish Coca-Cola fizzy dreams.

	As the factory managers inside their clouded minds, 
	chant "buy! buy! buy!"
	coins clink and a strange Dance of Shiva takes place:
	for a brief moment, the Charnel Ground of Existence  
	becomes transformed into fantastic Disney showcase!

	Ahh - how wonderfully this pied-piper illusion is played!
	Maha-Maya, Mada-Devi in full motion!
	Mammon's Mammoth Mandala-Armada-Array!

	How much longer can such illusions continue?
	Do the spider web of dreams have an end?
