Watching American Psycho for the 7th time I get it,
why selfies are the rule of 21st century habits:
narcissism and self-interest being the key concern,
other people are burger meat, bloody, raw and burnt.
A neoliberal brainwash has produced a populace
greedy for status, celebrity and a perfect face,
sacrificing humanity for designer clothes and homes,
environment exploited with a design of skull and bones.
Compassion is for fools, love is commercial crap,
politics virtue signalling while food and booze distract.
War explodes, neo-nazis march, the world is burning down
and anyone who protests and fights is just a boring clown.
I feel a fucking idiot crying in the wilderness,
I'm just a dumb consumer contributing to the mess.
Australia is utopia in lotus eating land,
and I'm a screaming psycho, my ego out of hand.
