‘God is dead’
Nietzsche said.
Nothing has been less true.
Now philosophy is dead too.
The love of wisdom has gone,
if ever there was one
under the sun.

The internet promised transparency
but now lost its valency.
The truth is mostly not desirable
and truth-tellers are hireable.
Science should know
and philosophy show
the full truth in one blow.

Market forces are in control
and window-dressing is standing tall.
The truth is of secondary importance,
a matter of idle romance.
Money makes the world go round.
Money makes a pleasant sound.
Money has buried philosophy in the ground.
