Ask yourself: Is it The Economy or a just a Raid?
Think about it carefully.
But have a beverage on hand while thinking about it.
You need something to numb the pain of this kind of thinking –
Of how the world truly works.
The ability to choose a beverage, incidentally, Is also proof –
That although The Economy is in fact just a Giant Raid,
By the Rich on The Poor (& now even the middleclass).
There’s still pockets of joy sown into into the sneaky heist.
Sure – The Beverages all aids in their ability to Raid better –
I’m not disputing that.
Only a fool would.
But it’s still better to be offered a beer while being mugged,
Than to stand their without any stress relief at all.
They’ve thought of everything.
But a beer is still a beer.
So let’s raise a glass to our muggings,
With always a wry smile on our faces.
That’s our small victory,
It’s our little POW treat, If you will.
