Capitalism and the people are like a snake
Curled round eating itself,
Slowly, out of greed
Devouring itself,
Feasting on itself,
Not realising that one day
It’ll eat to much of itself,
And simply die,
Killed by its own greed,
And because of its blindness
To what it’s actually doing,
Capitalism is just the head
Devouring us, the body,
The body may not be able
To live without its head,
But the head cannot survive
Without the body,
It’s this which defines us as equal,
So why is it we are not?
Why does the live in denial of this?
Because it’s blinded by greed.

Centuries ago the people were ignorant and were subjugated by the kings and the clergy. But now what excuse do the people have for still being submissive? I try to understand this but I can’t. Now people are just consumers and no longer people. They are all slaves to marketing and compulsive shopping. The image of the snake that you have chosen is really very strong but it is really perfect for this situation.
