They have no power

Post by sonofthesun » January 14th, 2024, 4:06 am

You can’t control
What can’t be sold
It’s just how to build the bulwark
Against a society
That teaches everything
Has a price
How to build a fortress of self
Impenetrable to the
Teachings of greed

It’s simple
Their words have no meaning
There is no empty space

capitalism relies on manipulation of thought
It depends on creating images unnatural to being in touch with the earth
all the words everywhere we look, is simply to sell shit
they don't really believe any of it.......So why should we
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Good question. Capitalism depends on expanding markets, which is a good business plan. (Jeez I wish I'd thought of that.) Meanwhile the earth doesn't get any bigger.

If it’s all to sell
We are all whores
Nothing is sacred
And fuck Jesus
Your truth is nothing
But a business plan
To expand markets

Geez… you don’t reprimand people for what they post. How would you like it if someone does that to you?

Here ya go. I’m doing it.

I’m not fond of name calling. It’s childish and unnecessary. And this is my site so cut it out.

Yeah, sorry bout that. Did you read what he wrote? There was no question he was answering. No question was asked. I took umbrage and expressed myself childishly. Fittingly to his response.
