The End of Prostitution

When a marginal part of the population has a job and we're all cowboys,
competition will be fierce,
and labor finally affordable once again.
We will all be business owners,
and corporations as entities will be a sensible proposition.
It makes sense when business owners are individuals,
and not an imaginary entity of conglomerations,
the individual counterparts simply able to walk away when they can't forfill their obligations.
They'll have a way out,
and a way to try again,
but they'll walk away with nothing.
Sweet Sweet equitability.
All the vampires will die unless they change back into humans.
All the empires will crumble and we'll auction off the ruins,
the imperialists will falter in this new world,
they have adapted to and created.
Every ounce of our creative energy will not be sucked out of us,
so that we may simply survive.
I read an article about how the new local road systems will cost each individual in the area 800.00,
and I see it primarily provides adequate transportation to the airport.
But nobody fucking lives there.
It doesn't make peoples lives any better,
The soothsayers conveying all this excitement about the non-news,
don't even consider their deep perversion.
They are paid to do what their contracter wants them to.
Prostitutes.
Hi.
You're using me for money under a predesignated contract.
There are things I will do,
and things I won't do.
I'll let you know when we get there.

Somebody always pays dearly for cheap labor.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    I love last line propositions or didactic statements. This kind of delivers both. You sat up the issues and spelled out the way it could break down and then delivered what is almost an ambivalent reaction at the close. Only certain minds can pull that off. We get so wound up in what we want to say that we lose track of what might really have a 'punch' at the end. RC

      Thanks for reading and the complimentary conclusion. It's hard to define an idea which you know is tangible, but not empirical. You know you won't gather any ground in court...or in debate...but...you still want to express the import. Anyhow. Thanks for reading and commenting. I think you got this piece completely. As much as I've read it...I don't quite get it...but I get that I expressed what I wanted to somehow.

    You're one of the more articulated poets that I've read on this site. I've read your work before and I can't remember if I've commented on them or not. It has been months since I've last been on here. Good job.

      Thank you. My mind is infinitely articulated. Sometimes this is a blessing, sometimes a curse. Since god is an arctype, much like Dracula, or Frankenstein...I could only blame what esentially is a blameless daisy chain of circumstances...I could pretend I had some clue as to the identity of the purpetrator, but would be like some idiot blaming chemistry for methane.
      That shit just exists and there's no reason for it.
      The explainations have no clue.

      Thanks for reading and commenting.

      Yeah, you got it. Whores to Society could have been an alternate title.
