A Day in Capitalism by ~supuhfly:iconsupuhfly:



Wake up.
Take a deep long breath of the polluted air.
Turn on the radio
and blindly accept the lies your "leaders" declare.
Take a bite of that so-called food.
Sure it tastes good,
but do you even know what you're really eating dude?
Walk out the door
to the world they want you to see.
But look at the poor!
You try to ignore
the cold fact that's where you'll soon be.
Go the restrictive job that clips your wings.
Work for them,
they want more things
More and more,
they gotta have it.
Your life doesn't matter!
To them, you're lower than shit.
Go home after slaving the day away.
You feel dead inside
but there is nothing you can say.
There is nothing you can gain.
In this society
you are given only pain.
Money.
Money!
It's all that matters.
They do not care how many lives and dreams they shatter.
They just take and take.
...
And you just let them do it.
So ask yourself...
Are you truly awake?...

As you can guess, this is about the monster known as capitalism.
This "free market" is killing the world and yet, no one want's to do a damn thing about it, in spite of the horrors it's causing even today. So I ask you...Are you awake yet?

Good poem - you point out the sad truth about capitalism. Poverty is alarmingly rising, especially in the so-called "developing" countries (don´t like this term). But also in the rich ones, where most people are still blind (probably till it´s too late)...
I try to wake up others, but it seems to be a difficult task to undertake - tittytainment is obviously working well. :(

Thank you!
Karl Marx said that when the poor become so well....poor, they will also outnumber the rich and hopefully a revolution or something will begin.

Yeah, but it's hard to fight years of anti-socialist attitudes left over from both the red scares. :/

OMGGG I love this piece!! It speaks volumes. Its so true we do live in this society where money is everything and everything else is forgotten. What makes it even sadder is that people do allow themselves to blindly live under this repressive system. Hopefully people will realize the conditions they live under and wont allow such a system to continue but thats hoping for a lot it seems. Well its a good piece of writing. One word: favoriting. ;)

I'm glad to see someone actually has their eyes open. Thanks.
