Growth - Process Your Anger about the Human Condition

Growth

Obsessively feeding
Stockholders
At the expense of
Consumers, people,
Decency, everything.
Promise ever-increasing returns,
Keep earnings artificially high,
Nothing else matters.
Metastasizing abnormal growth,
Never content with enough.
A world gutted by a
Pathological need for
Wealth and status,
Nourishing the few
Who can buy shares and
Their pushers.
Illusions vanish,
Leeches abscond.


 
You can support my work, because poetry matters.

  1. The power of your conviction to outrage and dissent; to raise one’s fist, thrust it in the air and shout, “ENOUGH”! will likely bring you to unsettling paths of learning the cost of liberty. Thank you for your conviction.
