The Special Machine

Everyday we’re inundated with scenes

Of throngs of people grasping at the goods.

Selfishness to the unwise simply means

That all of these acts are fit for the woods.

The animals wrest objects from each hand

Of others, without regard. So they call

For Small Business Saturday and demand

Giving Tuesday be where you offer all.

But Big Business Everyday is the key.

It ensures that scores are producing stuff.

That the greed and selfishness might just see

The day where these virtues are quite enough.

Self-interest is what the holidays mean.

It’s all apart of the special machine.
