POVERTY EUGENICS

we drive our metal cells through asphalt veins
flowing straight into a diseased brain
just to provide it with the blood it needs
to keep our own demands at bay.

and all the wealth acquired
all for the sake of benign status
could save them from this intentional agony
if it weren’t for selfish excuses

of safety, comfort and convenience.
it’s just privilege disguised as allegiance
this crumbling pyramid (capitalism) is truly
the degradation of humanity
on the septic path towards feudalism.

all the immigrants in the world know a common truth:
surviving is deadly!
just as every yuppie won't confess
there are no wal-marts in hell
and there are no bank accounts after death
the foundation of poverty is this tradition of wealth!
