The Everything Industry - a poem

The Everything Industry
Why today is everything an industry?
Is it just a new hyper-logical use of language?
Or conspiracy of ideology?
Or neither?
Just the result of the profit motive ruling
For the last few decades?
Industrial relations
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Industry Shmindustry
Everything's an industry
There is no room for anything that
Doesn't make money now.
It's here or brought near
the time when everything
Has a price.
And nothing is a service
No one serves
Industry is a technical term for economists and geographers
Not a way of life
We used to Say the X trade
the trade
now it's more
There is something wrong about these words
There is something wrong here
I can't put my finger on it
But I know there is something wrong
It has jarred in my ears
For at least a few years
Which sound strange to you now?
