there is so much untapped potential in this world that would be unethical to pursue given present infastructure
mass digital archives of personal data could be used to advance medicine & develop new social services
instead our data is weaponized reconnaissance for racketeers scanning for openings & pressure points to leverage our humanity against us targeted ads for rope on a suicidal feed
a cry for help and a shopkeepers bell identical blips on marketing radar
a cure is the premature death of profit but a band-aid? a pill? a distraction? these things can be dispensed indefinitely until the suffering poor has nothing less to trade

there is no greater market than the desperate the starving man will pay the most for the meagerest meals so offer the meanest deal possible and keep the price of theft higher "tough on crime"
we are trauma bonded to our economy one hand beats us the other feeds
"bite one, but spare the other"
as though they do not belong to the same beast privilege & discipline tools of master over their subordinate
some submit so enthusiastically they assume this is freedom

I would not starve mistake Death for the only liberator but these scraps will never satisfy me
the blood of kings then? the meat of the cutty wren?
but vengeance makes a poor feast ideals cannot substitute bread
