Default Stand Up to Hunger

The large banner above read:
"Stand Up To Hunger"
or some shit like that
stitched with corporate logos
reminding you continually
of who puts on for 'your' city
CNN, Twitter, Visa, Kraft
and on and on, the usual...
it hung in view of thousands
of young-20-somethings mostly
whom all were a proposed solution
the "now or never generation", "the future"
Stand Up To Hunger
the buzz word or whatever

Below, on the stage
a familiar speech popped off,
a Maybe-It's-Maybelline girl
speaking on behalf of greater interests
something about taking an implant
to fix hunger, or some shit like that
something like it's painless
the future of tomorrow, today
or whatever it was
I could hardly hear or see her though
the electrified spasm of humanity
all in front of me, behind, to the left
to the right, on top, on the bottom
all over the place
BUZZED...

Smart phones, tablets and tech.
positioning for their facebook picture
a chance to be judged worthy
or whatever the fuck
in sight of their consummate queen
to demonstrate high value
or some shit like that

Meanwhile, the speech grew
the show ramped up
celebrities appeared
Lady Gaga with strange
triangles above her head
Bill and Linda Gates with
bizarre hand gestures
malnourished Asians came too
skinny pawns next to the fat queen
like advertisements
like space monkeys
like que-cards

Hunger was the problem
like a boogeyman in the desert
spectacle was the reaction
like the hit on the twin towers
it was all there...hanging
Boeing, CBS, Exxon, T-mobile
on and on...on that banner
"Stand Up To Hunger"
the implant was the solution
like all the people cried for
saying, "lest we too starve"

The speech was delivered, hard
the final solution sold in dazzles
establishing the crowd as a trend
going viral for the cure, view counts
the new standard in world community
chipped, relevant and all flabbergasted
the majority was in obscurity
and the devil was in the details

Still, yet

Above them stretched out, unabated
over the sea of expendability
over the flock of free-range chickens
Hanging with certainty, with all assiduity
that large banner with its colossal resources
on that day...
did not give one fuck
