Anti-Renter Statement of Intent
I am an anti-renter. I am against renting my life to others. I don't want a lover who lives apart from me, who goes to her work and I to mine.
I don't want my blood loves, much less my partner,
knifed to the bone by the corporate blade
or the atomized career.
I am against
the solitary confinement of the wage slot.
I don't want relief, a patch, a pretty good fix;
I want a co-op;
I want the resources of this land
directed toward building co-ops;
I am an anti-renter;
I want to be in action, not act.
I am an anti-renter;
I am against corporate totalitarianism;
I am against money that speaks for money;
I am tired of blood dripping from the corporate blade;
I am tired of ruined health, ruined minds, ruined worlds.
Corporations: Official Sponsors of the Universe,
holding exclusive rights, a monopoly,
a huge return on investment.
People: Official Nothings,
designated consumers of corporate crap, corporate crime, corporate killings.
Have a Coke and Smile!
&*%^>#$&#%@$*!!!
Rotted teeth ache for the corporate throat,
the jugular that may not exist.
But co-ops are like Kryptonite
and I work toward the day when we replenish this land
with co-ops like Kryptonite
and no corporations survive. |
