receipt roll messiah
steam punk chimera
God of catalogues
and credit checks
hollowed be my name
your strip mall come
your bill be won
in parliament
as it is in tax havens
give us this day our 10% percent off
forgive us our store points
lead us not to customer services
for thine is the system
the power and the profit
take my skin
in lieu of payment
see me as I am
with an armful of appliances
spine curved to the longing
for emptiness and overdrafts
hatch me from the bones of your boardrooms
forever
and ever
amen

I love your voice....yes, the bare bones are stuck with debts, and depressed with life's burdens.
Very creative take on this prompt ~
Ha...a riot!
Mercy! this would be hilarious if it wasn't serious as a cholera outbreak. 'Give us this day our ten percent off,' so we can give ninety percent of our money to the one percent. Loved it.
This certainly grabs one's attention. A brillint piece of biting and relevant satire. Also very funny and clever in the best possible sense. Thanks for sharing. I'm so pleased my photo has prompted such a brilliantly engaging response.
Wow, Cat. Biting indictment of our materialistic viewpoint. Well conceived and well-penned.
