after auditing
existence's
terms and conditions.
it seems,
capitalism is just
a polished gutting knife.
a sterilized fillet knife.
wealth never grows.
it just relocates
from open veins
to numbered accounts.
it migrates from wound to wallet.

war are rebranded harvest.
land, oil, and labor
are just repackaged theft
with flags attached.

one's attention?
mined like phosphate,
sold back to you as dopamine,
a closed-loop strip mine.
so, it safe to say,
one
is a temporary cache
for stolen data.

killing is just chemistry.
a wolf eats a rabbit.
call it protein recycling,
call it efficient transfer of assets.

morality is only a metabolic glitch,
a metabolic side effect.
empathy is just a cooperative theft
in a nicer suit.

civilization is a ponzi scheme
where the final crash
is baked into the algorithm.

the universe runs
on one algorithm,
all value is stolen.
(yes, all.
language is also
zero-sum.
i don’t do
approximations.)*
