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
