Philosophical Materialism

I have gone mad, lost my mind in a mall.

I have gone from nothingness to everythingism:

I need to buy everything

CDs, shoes, blouses, shirts, underwear, designer jeans

earrings, perfumes, lotions, vacation homes, maids

I have gone from idealism to materialism

turned the world into a store

turned my ideas into a thrift shop

turned my heart into an auction

turned my body into an wishful-thinking six-figure salary

I am what I own

I am worth something because I own, I buy, I shop for the very best

What is primary?

My idea of a sale; can I buy it; can I own it; can I take it home; can I make it mine

What is secondary?

Whether I can beat out the other shopper.

What is tertiary?

whether i need it or not, i have it.

The thing determines my being

my being is a reflection of the things I can buy

the thing has become a thing-for-my-self

What is primary?

Materialism, own, own, own, property, things, people in my service

Matter determines ideas

Ideas are in the stores, I look for sales, I shop therefore I am.
