Do you cherish the perishable?
The wounded and the comparable
The destruction,
The corruption
The social destroyer
Or the employer?
To the unemployed
The deployed
The myriad

A very interesting poem that captures how a lot of people feel. While I think that capitalism is a lot better than many other forms of social and political organization, I do have to scratch my head when I think about the pyramid system. In many ways, it just doesn’t make sense, but we’re all a part of it, somewhere.
Anyway, check out this great poem (which exercises a great vocabulary, I should add) and it may turn some wheels in your head as it did in mine.
Too bad there wasn’t a simple way to ‘fix’ all of this, without plunging ourselves into chaos.
Thank you so much for the reblog and the kind words.
I’m glad my poem got you thinking. That was what I was hoping to accomplish.
Cheers!

Wow, I love this. The image left me with such a visceral reaction and the poem really encompassed that. I love the rhyme and meter to it too. Sobering but powerful stuff!
Thank you so much. I’m glad it had an effect on you. I like to stir people up and get them thinking….it’s the first step to getting people to move into action right?
Passion!
Cheers!

Wow, wonderful timing with this gorgeous graphic, Jennifer. My son & I were discussing ‘the state of affairs’ & I described the feelings of the people in the French Revolution with their backs & souls broken — “eat cake when they had no bread”. This pyramid portrays all too well the feelings of too many generations in too many countries now. And a special thank-you for the ‘Like’ on my Dawne Thoughts post — I can’t express how much I appreciate your kindness. 😉
so cool )
Wow. Very powerful.
Thank you.
This really hits it on the money
