We the people. We the product.

I hate that every question my son asks about the atrocities of the world, no matter what it is, always leads back to capitalism. WE ARE THE PRODUCT. Even our spiritual and emotional lives are commodified. Folk pay big money for our attention! The greedy, corrupt and immoral will have their day. They do not care who or what they kill or destroy. Some folk believe their privilege will protect them. The powers that be DO NOT CARE. 

There are so many wars at once, it's dizzying. It is also brilliant warfare to play both sides. Even got hand in all of the solutions. Look at all of us: cornered. If you are unemployed, you can get a job but at some superplant or helping billionaires become trillionaires. Some of y'all ain't telling the truth about how you are being coerced into falling in line and promoting certain agendas. Guess you gotta tell it to yourself first. So superficial and delusional yet criticize the youth for their version of the same. We are handing over our autonomy in so many ways. Who has been sleeping comfortably at night? 

I got so many words inside these words...we are willingly being tricked out of power. It is getting uglier and uglier. Roll up your sleeves, folks.
