fictional rant...
my whole life i've realized that everything is a lie, a con for the taking
there's a sucker born everyday according to some quote, in some book, or some move, some where.
and i've come to the conclusion that i will not be the sucker but the con.
and why not?
sure i could go my way through life and make my bones the "right" way
"right makes right" according to lincoln
well lincoln got shot in the head for his supposed "right"
and i perfer not to go down like that
perhaps all the good stories about cons arent known bc well...
cons keep to themselves, live there lives as comfortably as possibly and well
they dont get caught.
if you could walk into a store and take whatever you wanted and leave without paying, would you do it?
what's the point of monetary exchange for goods really?
to survive i need food and i need shelter.
well if i need food, i should be able to go anywhere and take it. why the fuck should i pay? its my "right" to survive isn't it?
if i need clothes to survive why can't i just go and take it from the store that they are held in? that also is included in my "right" to survive right?
if all the people in the world decided to denounce the cash/monetary system that we have relegated to what would occur?
i think madness would occur for quite some time
i think people would loot and riot for quite some time
and when the dust settled
i think someone would have to emerge to tell the people, to remind them of their "rights" to survive
and maybe then...we could live in this world in this country without poverty without abundantly rich people
maybe we could live in this country... with out
but who am i kidding
i live in one of the most consumer capitalist countries in the entire world
i live in one of the most influential countries that attempts to infultrate healthy countries with their obese mentality
i live in one of the most materialist countries that emphasizes happiness by goods rather than health and friends and family
i live in one of the most self centered countries that thinks the entire universe revolves around them and would totally be knocked off its socks if one day the entire global economy was dependent on the philippines
i live in the grand US of A
and honestly...i wouldnt have it any other way
bc where else could a con be a con
and a sucker be a sucker
but in a consumer capitalist nation that promotes "right" with the might dollar
and punishes those who scoff at the system only bc they didnt think of it first.
yes, this is my country and i'm gonna stick to it
will i be a con?
or
will i be a sucker?
whatever choice i make at least i have the good ol US of A to have my back

a lot of things can happen in a typical week
to make the typical become extrordinary
and the extrordinary, amazing
one fresh of breath aire into lungs that couldnot breathe
one analysis into thinking everything is like a hyperbole
and the hyperbole, personification
