How do I work toward a
goal
when I have no agency?
Stuck in this sticky
stew,
the best I can do is
suck
air through a tube to
breathe.
Plans to move upward
lead
only to grief.
Preach from your perch
above
that losers deserve our
sad
destinies.
You speak to ears
too submerged to hear.
I understand – You are relatively
wealthy, therefore
happy to
carry the myth of rich man’s virtue.
But what about all of those yous
who never
“made it”? Is that because you are
too lazy,
undisciplined, just
bad?
Rejecting a truth because cynical
politicos use it
to manipulate, is them winning the
battle to control
your hearts and minds.
