SERMON
Blessed are the Consumers,
you don't have to life with Products…
Amen.
Blessed is the ordinary citizen who holds onto a patch of public commons,
for you are the New World.
Blessed are you.
Blessed is the artist who is not corporate sponsored
You are the one who is gonna teach us peace.
Somebody give me a Peacealujah today!
Blessed are you.
Blessed are you who confuse “Consumerism” with “Freedom,”
you'll be delighted to discover the difference!
Blessed are you!
Blessed are the advertisers and blessed are the celebrities,
you are waiting for the remarkable restfulness of honesty.
Blessed are neighborhoods people flew from in fear,
your children shall reappear to illuminate the dark economy.
Blessed are you!
Blessed are the workers in the supermalls,
the towns your employers’ killed shall come back to life!
Amen! Blessed are you!
Blessed is the breadwinner with out-sourced dreams
sitting in his SUV in traffic jam from Christmas from Hell,
this year a free gift shall set you free... set you free...
Blessed are the young women in the sweatshops;
the things you make will fly you like magic evening gowns to the City of Light.
Blessed are you who disturb the customers,
you just might be loving your neighbor.
Blessed are you who disturb the customers,
you just might be loving your neighbor.
Blessed are you! Blessed are you! Blessed are you!
You're disturbing the customer!
You're loving your neighbor!
Blessed! Blessed! Blessed! Blessed!
