The Wisdom Revolution

a transaction was once thought to be

an exchange between buyer and seller

but that’s like saying that banking

is just about the teller

now we know there’s a whole lot more

that goes in to each transaction

every purchase we make

sets off a chain reaction

of how we create more supply

to comply with every demand

and who does what with what we’ve got

but we’ve got to understand

that not all demands are worthy

and we need not cater to them

some resonate with lower vibrations

and scientists have proven

that life exists outside the bounds

of our mythical free market

and a higher quality of life

should really be our target

as we stand here in the now

and aim into the future

can we envision our species as more

than merely mindless consumers

while it’s true

that when you appeal to our base desires

and spur it along with manipulation

we’ll follow along and buy what you’re selling
