capitalism, gone wild 8/31/17

capitalism is now a form of self-enabling,

deep into the psychology of self outplaying another self.

there is nothing amenable or amicable involved.

all is muted and strategic below the apparent reality horizon.

profit is distilled as psychological benefits gained.

every product is the result of personal think-tank efforts.

utility or esthetics are the assumed flashy drivers

yet always looking for leverage over the consumed.

price is ever based upon need, not really about cost

and that is called fair exchange into insulated selfdom.

customers are ever the exploration journey into debt.

there is a partisanship in play as a way of thinking,

sidedness armed with cynicism and outright distrust.

naivety thrives on every novel twist and futuristic turn.

presentation styles are always looking for new pitches.

there is never equal or level ground to be had.

it is a leveraged situation, generally favoring.

it would appear that looting is a payback symptom attempt

which falsely addresses the central issues.

it is an environment of psychological warfare

with a superficial honesty pledged from the start.

every price is a conundrum to be consumer-accepted.

the profit equation is open country to the self as seller.

it is human interactional warfare,

waged under the presumption of supply and demand.

it is further a false entitlement concept

in which humans disgrace the planet,

for the sake of this self-versus-self game.

we build, we excavate, we tear down,

we war, we exploit, we mine, we quarry,

we cut down, we extract, we dangerously experiment,

we guile, we cunningly for the sake of profit,

we deceitfully account, and therefore

we small-mindedly profit.

we, as in the species, we,

supposedly satisfy with triumphs for survival.

as in human outsmarting human ploy.

the scope of this moment is myopically more important 

than the big picture, in a planetary way.

think is immediately pressed into momentary action.

dream is too long to wait, for that which is not.

believe is, as if a justification there for

and mull has overtones fit for recovery from loss.

the system appears to be rigged and therefore,

when you can, get yours.

we speed up on yellow lights.

we hunker-down for sale events

as in black-Fridays, world-wide versions do apply.

we have friends as if we are fighting a common enemy.

we can’t have species concerns

because the in-fighting is too problematic and prominent.

the news uses the rhetoric of mayhem to project.

most information is laced with impotence to respond,

either out of scale, out of range or outright impossible

to feature oneself as a self of action in such circumstance.

capitalism can never be hunkered down at the campfire,

can never be the heartfelt comingled as if shared,

never be the joy of free-movement,

the unbridledness of simple play,

or the true source of enthusiasm.

capitalism is the invention of unnecessary maze-works

based on a false premise that starts with fear.

capitalism is loveless and venturesome

as it starts with small and eventually ends with small,

as if a few rich people run the appearances of the world,

keeping all others in the lockdown of their concepts.

capitalism is heartless and therefore doomed

to just reside

until the heart-brain becomes commonly

the method and the means

for human consciousness to advance,

into species-wise and planetary benefitted . . .
