In Democracies Yoked To Capitalism

The open secret is how much
society is a pyramid scheme,
The theories for which
are written by the rich for the rich,
to justify always making more
there are far more losers than winners.

Every top dog is the top
of a hierarchy of underlings.
The gain at the top
is inversely proportional
to the number of people
decreasingly gainfully
employed beneath.

The most achievable success
is to make an art out losing
that leaves you with self respect.

"Don't keep up with The Jones'-
drag them down to your level"
-Quentin Crisp.
