#anticapitalist - Hello Poetry

Every First of January it occurs, Popping out of my mind like a hibernating bear Ravenous for knowledge, productivity, promise A desire to learn. An itch to open every tome And gorge on all I missed out on the years prior, A list not of resolutions but of references. The cave wall smattered in names and subjects, I wish to absorb it all into me; on the wall, it will mostly remain, washed away by overwork I will forget all of these things in 7 days time, and another 358 days will pass in a capitalistic hibernation.

New Year

Every First of January it occurs, Popping out of my mind like a hibernating bear Ravenous for knowledge, productivity, promise A desire to learn. An itch to open every tome And gorge on all I missed out on the years prior, A list not of resolutions but of references. The cave wall smattered in names and subjects, I wish to absorb it all into me; on the wall, it will mostly remain, washed away by overwork I will forget all of these things in 7 days time, and another 358 days will pass in a capitalistic hibernation.

A glutton for devotion, is what I would say of myself. Reserved only for singular reverence. Chainlink fence around portrait perimeter. Love lies lusciously where the marvelous maple lets leaves lay in the autumn. Core, contained in a thick cluster of counterculture conscience. Averse to all wealth, save the cornucopia held within my sternum.

Does a star really burn in the sky? Or do they simply work till they die?

We're not in this together & truth be told we never were Our history is of dissent Our future – one side's voice unheard La Batalla de Girón – A wave of fire undeterred We've become tomorrow's spokesmen Unleashed our tongue upon the world We're never in this together Your war is one of treachery Unending plunder of our home For every Empire's century Our war is fought when there's no more To choose but sheer necessity The once subdued & dispossessed No hope. No fear. No property 'cause we are not in this together & all curtains are bound to fall Once our longest march draws near The last of powers to dissolve As we watch all Suns set On the crowns of the few The hands of the oppressors Transparent yet unseen As we walk down every street Dancing to the tune The glorious creak of the decaying capitalist machine We'll never be in it together It's you or us, no in between It's earth or ash, it's life or death It's all or none, & we will win 05/11/20 N.B.

We're Not in This Together

We're not in this together & truth be told we never were Our history is of dissent Our future – one side's voice unheard La Batalla de Girón – A wave of fire undeterred We've become tomorrow's spokesmen Unleashed our tongue upon the world We're never in this together Your war is one of treachery Unending plunder of our home For every Empire's century Our war is fought when there's no more To choose but sheer necessity The once subdued & dispossessed No hope. No fear. No property 'cause we are not in this together & all curtains are bound to fall Once our longest march draws near The last of powers to dissolve As we watch all Suns set On the crowns of the few The hands of the oppressors Transparent yet unseen As we walk down every street Dancing to the tune The glorious creak of the decaying capitalist machine We'll never be in it together It's you or us, no in between It's earth or ash, it's life or death It's all or none, & we will win 05/11/20 N.B.
