Liberal capital

Liberal capital

A Poem by Adam Parker
"

Chasing the chance of a job so you can happy . A reliance on money for everything , however this is not fairly distributed or achievable. We live in a world where someone can no longer self sustain.

"
a world without capital is a reality unachievable -
one must sell labour, sell themselves.
Sell.
Buy.
Sell.
Buy.
Own nothing .

Feudalism replaced by capitalism ,
Capitalism that creates discontentment , division and delirium,
but nothing is lain before us for change.
Communism relies on people to be impartial ;
to not be corrupted by greed or power ,
inhereantly against human nature.

Now even the educated fall on their face ,
Nepotism is our religion - and it spreads like a disease.
They say "I'm sorry but your application has unfortunately been declined "
"We look forward to hearing from you in the future"
but the job goes to Sebastian ;
who has just come back from skiing In the alps,
and whose father , Hugo-
has just finished a merger at his law firm.

Students at university getting degrees and debt ,
Eyes wide with thoughts of opportunity ;
changing the world for the better,
only to not have the chance .
They must sell their soul to the devil of capital to progress,
a process scorched with indignation -
lascivious and sanguinary ,
we no longer can self sustain:
Even the farmers don't live off their crops, they are exploited by supermarkets,
We must sell our labour or be pushed into the Earth.
I wish this on no one .

I like the content. I enjoyed the way you made it relatable by adding people's name to give us a characters to the tone. Keep moving in this direction.
