There’s a new form of slavery
Rife in society
The trading of emotions that
Deprive all liberty
The influence of money
Where some are bought and sold
Friendships, loyalty all priced
Against the cost of gold
Whilst some will buy your silence
Others treat you to ensure
You like them or rely on them
Save shoo them out the door
Where cash is now the thing that speaks
And you; commodity
But consider this for you have worth
And that just comes for free

True. We live in times when packaging is often more important than the product itself.
Well said !
