System Emergency
Wow
I went to some shopping area
in
So Cal to get to Lowes for a hinge spring
fix
of a poorly hung door,
an
hour of inches on stucco lined boulevards.
I
was reminded that LA is not my cup of tea
with
twelve lanes not enough for the urges
and
the shopping center measured in square miles
so
I used the nav to navigate the mall.
Parking
filled with Rroom Rroom trucks or SUV’s,
a
Lotus, a lowered Honda with motorcycle muffler
noises
down-shifts into the stop sign to park
away
from ground-effects fiberglass fairing damage.
Shiny
chariots fighting for fewer steps into the boxes
where
the imported clerks work discounted wages
in
the franchised aisles, the dressed up eager buyers
busy
buying something made in China, Indonesia, Bulgaria.
This
suddenly an epiphany to me
THAT
THE ENERGY IS MISDIRECTED.
The
stuff, materials, the people power spent here
as
this mishegoss eats up the loaf
until
everything else starves,
except
the crap to the masses keeps them down.
So
they don’t notice their future being stolen,
It
will take an emergency like WWII
when
the consumption was redirected
into
war by a unification of purpose, will, meaning.
Now
lacking, so lets stop building shopping centers,
pay
a little more tax,
and
fix the country with housing for all,
healthcare
for all.
Rewire
the grid for renewable energy,
giving
our kids a future.
Sure,
we can do it, all it takes is an EMERGENCY
like maybe that stupid wall apparently is.
