Anti-DevelopmentA Poem by Augusto Miguel GamboaWhen image means more than the performance you give And paper defines whether you die or you live No amount of good can save you from judgment And every drop of sweat only leads to resentment Living against the spiritual element, stripped from holy equipment An earth-sent transcendent blinded by success and fulfillment Psychology over biology, gimmicks and tricks cloaking theology Against mother nature; a thinly disguised misogyny Overlooking every prodigy in favor of arrogant audacity Where money breeds cash, and coins birth paper But the lack of a contract and ink stings while you wither Where the rich steal and the poor pilfer, a thin line in between While reality lies through its teeth just to shatter your dreams A cult of liars and lawyers, hypocrites and politics, waiting for a chance to loot I guess I'd rather suffer empty-handed than live with bullshit in a $uit
