Guess what ” the price is right”

We’ve got hurricanes, fire and flood. We’ve got volcanic eruption, nuclear power plant meltdown, sea-water rising, record-breaking heat and freezing temperatures. We suffer, for our comfort and convenience (at other times).

The price is right.

Over consumption (supersizing of everything), overstaying our welcome on Earth and overspent.

The price is right.

We’ve picked up bad habits e.g. others are doing it, much worse, you should’ve seen so and so…We have been racing downhill, he who gets to Hell first wins.

Careful. We might get what we wish for.

The price is always right. What goes up must come down. 1+1=2

No way around it.

In “Ballade des pendus”, Francois Villon was quoted as saying (and I paraphrase) ” Brothers of the future, please do not judge us poor and wretched souls, for God will thank you for it”.

The price is always right. The wage of sin is death.

We reap what is sown. Either by us or our generation.

By today’s standard, those cars in old movies I saw were humongous: long, wide, oversized and gas guzzlers.

Your Honor, I rest my case.

Jury of the future, once you found it’s “Beyond any reasonable doubt”, then pronounce us all guilty.

Of complicity, conspiracy and consumeristic.

We view and value materialism as the ultimate. We hoard, collect and swim in stuff.

Over stuff ourselves with high-glucose, high-cholesterol and high-protein. We sip, snuff and suck.

Like grown-up babies, never want to let go the nipples.

The price is right.

ROW is living on $2 day. So what. That’s their problem. The price is always right.

If they make it over the stormy sea to get here, over the electrified fence to arrive here (then we bus them to progressive cities North and North East), if they were fully vetted and got their own flight tickets to get here, then that’s the price to pay, to be qualified for now-dwindling fast-food minimum wage jobs.

The price is always right.

BPO, FOB, SOB. Learn all the acronyms, learn English. Pass the test, for the price is right.

Work in Dollar Stores. Shop in Dollar Stores. Shot in Dollar Stores. The price is right.

El Paso Walmart. Jacksonville Dollar Store. Nobody target Target. It’s upscale. It’s out of your price range. The price is right. Always does.

The wages of sin is death.

He who sows shall reap.

Your Honor, the Defense has no more to say.

Thank you for a day in Court.

Future brothers, please don’t judge us, poor and wretched souls. For God will thank you.
