Capitalism is a vacuum, a glutinous maw sucking away all in its path.
It is just a mouth devouring; with no eyes, to see the devastation it leaves blindly in its wake; no ears, to hear the screams from life it greedily takes; no hands, to touch the earth it willingly forsakes; no tongue, to taste the polluted food it haphazardly creates; no nose, to smell the stench filled air it mindlessly makes; no heart, to feel the spirits lonely it lustily breaks.
We are not free, not free at all; the fallen, continuing to fall, slaves to the endlessly consuming monster we caress and from its clutches we hesitate to divest; for the more that is less.
No escape to the forest; the woods it owns
No escape to the streets; its criminal not to have a prison, a home
In fear’s grasp it has us firmly held; only by saying no more and embracing LOVE can in freedom we dwell; can we be delivered from our living hell; as even dying is not an escape from the “free” market’s cell; for it seems now capitalism owns our death as well.
LOVE to be freed; freed to be LOVE…
just LOVE…
Kip Baldwin
