In the blue screened light of my laptop
I wonder about the economists’ problem
about not creating enough wealth
The problem isn’t about
creating enough wealth
is it
Ask the Four Percent
They hoard more than enough
My dog looks at me as I consider
the problem isn’t creating wealth
Indeed
it’s that too much poverty
is being created
Like charts, graphs and projections
poverty is an entirely
human creation
With
Intention
the poor are created
so that wealth may be horded
Four percent of the population
willfully create states of poverty
This is the fundamental understanding
of the rational mind
remember science class
cause and effect
While putting gas in the car
I wondered about natural resources
things both worshipped and wasted
depending on which side of the market
one sits on
And I considered the greatest natural resource
People
undervalued
and wasted
My dog gets up
losing patience
wanting to walk
The thought occurs to me
as we walk in moonlight
As weapons are intentionally
manufactured and violently deployed
so is poverty
Likewise is poverty
intentionally
manufactured and deployed
Violently
Poverty is practiced violence
exploding hollow-points into
individuals families and communities
Poverty is the violent rape
of our most precious resource
humans
people
children
Neighbors
Poverty is the torture and death
of starvation for countless people
Poverty is calculated
poverty is Four Percent waging
violent war on the rest
A lone goose calls across the lake
as my heart turns to spirit
Call it what it is
Poverty is violence
Where is my
WWJD
bracelet when I need it
Peace be with you
