I never thought about it growing up
Seeing money flying from my parents’ hands
It seemed like that was just the way things were
I hadn’t been taught to question yet
But as I sit here paying precious funds because I’m hungry damn it
It just feels so twisted and wrong that food, a necessity of life, costs money
If you can find it, water is free, but we’ll just let you starve otherwise?
And the whole soup kitchen whatever is great but I’m a disabled person hungry, outside the city core, at 7pm.
There isn’t magically some place I can get to, to feed myself
They expect all the homeless hungry people to gather around the services, which are almost always available downtown, and then they cry about there being a bunch of homeless people downtown
Make it make sense
It doesn’t
I came into this world so fascinated by other people
Foolishly careless
Airheaded
I don’t have much going for me
But I really did think people were fascinating
Now I wonder if I want to get to know these people who submit to a system that creates a problem and then complain about that problem
It’s written in the fine print, did you not read that part?
And it was always great for rich people they just get richer
Their treasures and riches increasing in value over time
The peasants with nothing wonder why bread is $6 while Mr Rich exists in his mansion that has appreciated in value by hundreds of thousands
Whose stocks pay for everything
Just pump all the money into a system designed to pursue all profit at any expense
Children being baked alive in walk in ovens
Except it wasn’t the witch in her candy house
It was Wal-Mart
How far do we let this go? 諸君?
Wow that word translates horribly and we as English speakers should be ashamed
That is a genderless address
Anyways
Couldn’t translate it though because English is all like ladies and gentlemen boys and girls
Eh. It’s more like “all you”.
You see why I go for the Japanese sometimes
Everyone just needs to learn every language, myself included, and then we’ll make a universal language from that or something
Sometimes words don’t work
Anyways, and I mean it this time
Why did we accept a system where food, water, and shelter are not guaranteed?
Dear middle class: what is wrong with you?
Going along with all this shit, dragging poor people along
Getting thoroughly destroyed by your favourites
But it’s definitely poor people that have been a scourge on this planet
And not all of you rolling over to appease your masters for decades
It’s all broken
No, it’s all working as intended
But no one seems to care about that
And obviously I’ve thought food should be free before this day where I was just hungry
Where you eat five starbursts you have left because you’re nauseous from hunger
I believe my words were
Let’s eat these so I can trick my stomach into thinking I ate something, that’ll be good for me
I wish I could just fill my own needs
No consuming anything
Just be
The unfairness of life is that we consume
But why did we make that unfairness ten times, perhaps a hundred times, worse?
There is food all around us
Bag upon bag of food that didn’t get eaten in time
There is so much we are throwing out the excess
So much just rotting in garbage dumps
Well
My food’s here and I’m hungry
Food shouldn’t be a fight in a world where we throw it away
