It’s Never Been Easy

In Egypt the noise, the language and the mistake of taking an apartment close to the road, just off Tahir square, where the taxi drivers honk through the night in a defiant conversation.

A race being persecuted for oil they are unable to defend.

At Occupy the anger in North America is directed at corporate fat cats primarily in the financial industry and what an industry that has become…the only place to really “make belief money”…

media problem…

once they have your image…

they have your soul.

 

And of course since I spend lots of time alone

as readers and writers must

big crowds are eventually overwhelming

Stimulus overload…

I

got drunk and yelled at everybody one night especially the Indians

that was fun so they put out the sacred fire

no one from money is expected to work in the trades and very few do…

and since money begets money…the divide between the rich and poor

becomes starker and starker.

 

And before you start jabbering about defining my terms

first let me say fuck off.

 

Poor is not owning a home, having a negative net worth…

and for you pathetic few rich is defined as over $10,000 a day

 

Capitalism has immersed us in her cold calculating grasp

Completely invading your social relations and so called media

 

With nowhere to expand the game is up…

 

we live off the land

we fish from the sea,

need clean water and air

yet we continue to pollute

and in fact pollute more

 

a system

of waste

excess

high unemployment,

overproduction

is lionized

through coercion

 

do you like having to pay for everything?

you people are so stupid you don’t even ask the question

just shuffle along and do what you’re taught.

It ain’t going to be pretty for your grandkids

but what do you care?
