poetry: are you not entertained?
on the usage of entertainment as distraction and the parasite called capitalism
image created by Stephen Dunifer (hey Stephen!).
how blessed we must be
to have
billions of dollars pumped into us
to fill
the voids that have no end
buy more
protect yourself
buy more
come laugh with us
buy more
you see that pain?
buy more
forget the pain!
buy more
there is no pain!
buy more
see? isn’t this fun!
we’ve been well fed
well filled
we’ve been hungry for years
but the ones feeding us
are the same ones
gnawing at our bones
not realizing
they’ll bite their own tongue
to nothing
in the process
have you found your satisfaction?
