--{ Masters Minding the Way:

"Advertising and Media Shape the Culture,
Training and Changing to Suit the Vulture
Which Sits Atop the Perch of Humanity,
Promoting Essentials and Items of Vanity,
Drive Now is Austerity, More Money for Less,
More Profit for Owners of Production I Guess,
And Punitive Measures for Non-Compliance
Of CO2 Taxes Sure to Cause Much Defiance,
Owned by World Masters, Confused Herd Stray
Into an Upgraded System, They Still Pay,
There's Always the Hope It won't Get Too Bad,
They Adapt without Knowing, It's All Too Sad" © Alan Watt }--
