backpaddling rich white robot mormon fuck

who would have though that a man
spawned from the factory of silver spoons &
joseph smith’s silver plates
would ever out-spend another candidate?

first,
as the election process in this country is dead,
as the ballot is dead,
as the so-called “democracy” has been irrelevant since its
beginning,
when it called for freedom amidst the slavery & oppression of millions &
the voting rights for rich white males
(keeping women locked away as baby machines in the house)
all in the bag,
to perpetuate the sound of empire---
in this context, there is no need for an election race---
just look at the bank account of the guy running against the other guy with the
biggest bank account &
go back home america---
stay the little fucking sheep that you are.

for this is the message we are given
this is the way our new robot talks to us
after winning over hearts & minds in florida,
telling us on CNN that
he’s not concerned about the very poor
even though he cares so much about americans.

hmmm.

dear mr. “not concerned about the very poor”
are you aware of the 46.2 million americans living
below the poverty line?
that’s 1 in 6.
there has never been a higher number
since the census began documenting data half a century ago
& with African-Americans & Latin-Americans making up
54% of this 46.2
& less than 10% of america’s poor looking like you,
maybe it is difficult to think about anything more than the
“middle-income americans” that you keep speaking about---
who exactly are these “middle-income americans?”
did you see them on the television one day while
passing into your study or
did you simply jump on the politician bandwagon,
where discussing a thing that doesn’t exist,
something which people have to ask themselves if they are in
because they don’t want to be part of the next
below-the-poverty-line data gathering,
is just easier---

it’s easy, like providing an airbrushed image on the magazine covers
of a woman that no woman can ever be,
so that she will buy all the products said to be necessary by society
to get closer,
a la Naomi Wolf’s The Beauty Myth,
or even better,
as the biggest lie ever committed,
getting people to put their faith in a “god”
that they have never seen
that they have never heard from,
doing all that they can in their short little lives
to be all they can be &
spend all that they can spend
to try & get to that
“promised land”---

stop promising, mr. romney.
