Chapter 8 Dark conspiracy

Verse 1

When you walk through your local supermarket you cant help but notice that you always get a better price if you buy a big box of detergent instead of a smaller one. The same goes for toothpaste, rice, butter, almost anything you care to name.
The bigger the box, bag or whatever shape container the better the price will be.
This is of course very nice and dandy unless we talk about stuff that will spoil before you have time to use it. This way of pricing doesn't do all the singles out there much good. Everywhere you go you see offers in the style of. Buy two get one free! Why cant i get one for half price instead?

Verse 2

When you look at the the difficulty people have when it comes to finding a place to live with larger apartments being comparatively cheaper than smaller ones, everything seems even more like a conspiracy by powers unknown.
Which brings me to my point. Is all this intentional?
Is this a system designed to make singlelife less attractive? Are the singles being forced into partnerships by financial necessity?
Could it be that some force is at work to make singlelife expensive and hard while partnerships are being subsidized? To what end this system?

Verse 3

Therefore we should all be thankful for the brave freedom fighters out there, fighting hard to stay single in spite off all odds and dark forces arrayed against them. And a special thanks to the few couples that continue to buy the smaller size groceries, just because being sensible all the time isn't as much fun.
I take some small pride in being in that latter category, spitting in the eye of economypacks and 2 for 1 coupons, unless i can get coca cola at a good price of course.
