capitalist corporations
take so much
to give so little
back
they love
to move the most
money as quickly as possible
into invisible
trusts––
taking every
advantage––
their favorite word is
more
wealth is vacuumed
upward––
scarcity trickles
down
the midas mission
is to turn every
inch of earth
into owned & deeded
domain
there is no respect
for person, place or
living thing––
there is no
reciprocity––
only the grabbing &
gaining––
of perfect economic
entropy
outside reality is
perception––
inside reality––
hormones of desire
in chains
trust is a lost
stock certificate
no body bothers
to redeem
the founders’ names
became initials,
then acronyms
& empires
liquidated into
constipated cash
what would happen
if corps divested
to sustain
the earth?
dedicated wealth to benefit
societies?
rooted themselves
in the land
like farmers?
breathed money into
life?
what if they poured value
into human skills &
hands?
knowledge into human
brains?
hope, caring &
transcendence into thankful
human hearts?
capitalism is nothing
less than pure
potential––
the worldly
potency
to make imagination
real
