A New Pledge For A New Era

I pledge allegiance to the business plans,
of the United Corporations of America.
And to the bottom line,
for which it stands.
One nation, under new ownership.
Divisible for a large enough bank account.
Without Spirituality or Compassion.
With revoked rights and no Habeas Corpus.
Fuck.

Nothing much to add to this, I just got the urge to write it down. Sometimes a dark mood strikes me, and this happens to be one such time.

Ok, maybe a little something to add after all.

The more I look around me the more I see that the problem is things are just too big to be sustainable. You have these giant corporations that feel they have to grow continuously. Well, obviously there's only finite room for any kind of growth. At some point, you either have to even out and maintain, collapse or else own the whole world (but still maintain or collapse). For the life of me I try to understand but it always sounds ludicrous. When is it enough? When is a person, or even a group of them, rich enough? When does it become obvious that this kind of mentality is a sickness, this urge to own everything? How can this be a measure of a successful person, when you have it all but can't learn to share or let anyone see it? The only way we are going to move forward (no, we're really not doing it now sorry) is as a collective. Free the information, free the minds and just watch us take off. Give us something real to believe in and almost all of us would be behind it. We don't need to be owned, or deceived. We just need something real to believe in, and miraculous things could happen.

Man, sometimes I feel like an alien on my own planet.
