Resting
In the glow
Of
Conspicuous consumption

Passersby engage
In
Heated
Discussion

Putting forth
Half-baked
Hasty
Assumptions

About
How he arrived
At this particular life
Junction

What exactly
It was
That crushed his
Gumption

Turning his back
On
Societal
Compunction

Was it
But a lack of
Proper
Instruction

Or
Perhaps
Imbedded government
Corruption

What
Would it take to
Spark his
Production

Putting
An end to
Chronic
Dysfunction

Passersby scurry on
To
Highbrow
Functions

While resting
In the glow
Of
Conspicuous consumption

Content
To let them espouse
Unfounded
Deductions

Heaven’s door
Where is the
Key
Such blinding light
I cannot
See

Heaven’s door
Where is the
Key
Surely someplace
It must
Be

Heaven’s door
Where is the
Key
Why is it illuding
Me

Heaven’s door
Where is the
Key
Perhaps there is
An entrance
Fee

Heaven’s door
Where is the
Key
Here
I am on bended
Knee

Heaven’s door
Where is the
Key
Right under the doormat
For you and
Me
