A Poem by delapruch
"

na.

"

subtle scare tactic of

western capitalism,

the slip of paper in the mail,

the email directed at you & you

alone,

the collection agency phone call---

it all comes down to frightening &

keeping one at bay,

drilling it into your head that

debt is the path you’ve chosen &

that it has all been your fault

that you were born where you were

born &

that you were raised how you were

raised,

so now, the hope is that

with ensuing debt, you’ll

buckle down &

shut the f**k up,

so that one more mouth will be

silent &

one more bank account will be

yearning for a chance to

beg

beg

beg

for a way out of financial

catastrophe,

as if a painful physical death

was somehow

preferable---

this taunting way of threatening

people into submission

does little to provide a calm bit of

sanity for the whole,

rather it leaves the suffering to

wonder,

just what exactly is keeping them

from walking into said collection

agency, said bill collector’s, said

insurance company, etc. &

putting a gun to the head of anyone &

everyone in charge?

 

hmmm.

 

better hope the people keep on

blaming the game & not the players

there,

bucko.
