We are a society of trolls
Everytime I turn on the TV
there’s a troll
trying to sell me something.
Telling me I need
better insurance.
Don’t walk over that bridge.
You might fall.
Better get All State.
Your breath stinks.
Brush with Colgate.
Are you in good hands?
is the name of the massage parlor down the street.
movie stars in commercials.
Isn’t it enough
we watch your shitty movies?
you have to sell us crap
What’s in my wallet?
My middle finger aimed at you!
We paid money
We spent our time
What more do you want
you greedy egomaniacal vultures?
Every last penny?
Our crusty bones when we die?
Our souls?
to replace the ones you sold
