everywhere we look
quality of life

the world has as many people as it does
the competition                             o p p o r t u n i t i e s
entirely too steep
the uppermost edge of Capitalism
and it’s failing

you can    g r o w 
but like finding a baby tooth in a cornfield
— it’s small
hard
a n d    blends in really well

you don’t exactly know what you want
don’t have much influence
to           h e l p

wholly capable
                         t h e     nudge
to pursue anything
                                      stability
a     f u t u r e
or the illusion of one

just unfortunate this isn’t sustainable
much longer
