Illegitimate Nouns arrive
and the Wall Against the Other
is erected
a wall against
sins covered up
in the pursuit
a better life,
a middle class
in a Zero Sum World
The Stockholm Syndrome Society
where crumbs eat the people
 rats in the world wide garbage heap
 rats seen as another race entirely,
People Rats who live off the Garbage of Prosperity
in India, in China in Mexico
poverty so fierce
whole generations
are buried in the holes in the garbage
covered over by still more prosperity-garbage coming in
for the rat people to eat and sell;
where when they wander away for even a day
they are fed to the ego of passer-bys
who blame them for smelling bad.

This new feudalism is the progress of the 21st century
where we shall all be buried one day in our own garbage
beneath the collapse that is sure to come
where we will be the new garbage

when the Rat People revolt and show up at our doors
some will say 'just a minute, will you' I need to get myself a 'latte.'
