Industry

I am Industry!
And I consume thoroughly
I care not for your name, your age
Your gender, your race, your lineage
You are but a number to me
Far less - for a number has property!
I am Industry!
Born of your malevolent appetite
For systemic corruption
For arbitary destruction
For unrepentant desecration
For consummate extravagance
I am Industry!
I innovate! I intimidate! I appropriate!
Your blood and bones feed me
Your sweat and tears fuel me
I give you hope and I shatter it too
You need me just as I need you
I am Industry!
I am your boon; your bane
Your happiness; your pain
I am your plaguing paradox
Your wolf in sheeps skin
I am the ghoul that you ever let in
I am Industry!
I am the lifestyle you've always sought
I am the latest device you've just bought
I am the tool that conditions your thought
I am the new craze; the seasonal trend
I am that on which you solely depend
I am Industry!
I exploit! I enslave! I am your deed!
I am the propaganda that you read
I am the drugs you desperately need
I am the wine you drink when you feed
I grow, because of your desire to breed
I am Industry!
I am the food that keeps you alive
I am the vehicle in which you drive
I am the job for which you strive
I am the business on which you thrive
Without me your kind will not survive
I am Industry!
A symbol of your greed and power
Your finite resources I selfishly devour
Perhaps someday you may take heed
For excessive profits there was no need
I am Industry! I am Necessity!
