Lmao. This is hilarious, and more than slightly profound. Speaking of unnessary items to purchase, please consider: memento mori from Alain de Botton's School of Life.

Never in my life has a poem made me laugh, up until this one. It's a light take on a dark topic and the whole poem flows so smoothly I almost thought I was in the wrong subreddit. It's also painfully relatable, whenever I'm up at 4am staring at my ceiling I'm always like, "I know how to remedy my endless despair! Amazon!"
Cause nothing hits quite like buying pointless shit at 4am because it offers free two day shipping with prime. Also, I saw a suggestion about changing the poems tempo so it can be a haiku, I don't agree. The way it's written now seems more personal and it's part of what I love so much about this poem. Anyway, thank you for sharing! Don't spend all your money on amazon!

EEK! I'm terrified.
Lovely and terrifying but also a great social commentary.
Yum, yum. Good stuff. I'm going to wake-up drunk now.

Continuous Amazon purchases until you die. Amazing

I hate to say it but the guy below is right, this works better as a haiku. You still wrote it and its basically there anyway so its not much of an alteration. Good job.

Number 3 reminded me of the song called Repeat Until Death by Novo Amor. That made me smile.

i like the humour in this poem, but think it might work better as a witty haiku:
don’t think about death
amazon is your best friend
buy until you die
This is awesome!!
I like the poem better.
However, this would make a great talking billboard in a bleak science-fiction.
