Capitalism works wonders
when you buy your soul again
after selling it to the black market
just to have two more people recognise you
Blood is just another shade of red
for the ties of the clowns with the formal attires
and suddenly everyone's accusing you again
for committing epicureanism
when you were just trying to
devour minimalism
with technology that
working hands got beaten up for
Everything violent is unacceptable
until economy craves it
then you can demolish the whole world
************ doesn't produce
enough serotonin anymore
after you've already licked
every coin you were given
and then you hear a child mourning
their stolen youth
but you're just upset because
I didn't identify their gender
You don't look good with tears
yet you whimper every time
you're not donated with a package
so pathetically sad
when the billionaire
blood feasting cooperation
doesn't acquire your fake money
And then your portrait
in your pseudo glass reality
seems to be getting old
even though they promised
that beauty hurts
but maintenance forges
your ideal mockery
O what a pity
seeing you so edible
yet so gory
I bet you're dating to colonise
and you charge for every kiss
you once assumed you had synesthesia
but you identified every sound and picture
with green
then you proceeded to commercialise
your exquisite palette
with food you yearned for
and with every drop of your saliva
a genocide began to emerge
Crying again you inject yourself with venom
that dances with your older genes that you'll never meet
O what a pity
seeing you so edible
is it considered cannibalism
for us to eat the rich
or for them
to fanatisize our hunger
through bread and circuses?

Regarding everything that has been happening in the world right now I felt hopeless and the only way to express my disappointment is through my words, so here's a very metaphorical poem portraying the lying and cruel persona of leaders, rich people etc. Arton kai theamata in Greek means bread and circuses, a historical event especially during the medieval ages where the emperors would promise the people some food and entertainment to keep them under control.
