Popular Cannibalism

In the 1980s there was a film
called 'Eat The Rich',
the title of which
became a catchphrase
for youths to declare disdain
at the popular capitalism
that comforted their elders
whilst discomfiting them.

A friend sent me a postcard
with the phrase spray painted
on a wall. 'Eat' became 'eat'
and below it he wrote 'vomit'.

Decades later, modern society
still throws up surprises.
