communist manifesto and the realizations it has dawned on me
today in ap english we were talking about karl marxs communist manifesto and then later in my honors creative writing a discussion arose involving the government and salaries and health care and capitalism and what not. they were talking specifically about how the profession was declining and how wrong it was that the universal healthcare was declining the profits made by doctors. they were arguing that they are one of the highest demand professions there are, theres a lot training required, and its one of the most valuable jobs to be done for others. why should these people (even though they already have salaries) go and give surgery to this one guy without healthcare for free and use hours of his time on somebody who cant even pay for themselves? i was thinking about this last part and to be honest, i was disgusted with the few of my classmates for these words. it should be the biggest honor in the world to have the chance to be able to make a difference for a fellow human in a matter of life and death and be one of the few with the select capabilities to do so. the fact that these people are so worried with wealth in favor of the rich that they shouldnt help save the lives of some people without compensation is sick. capitalism has skewed true morals to a disgusting code of self profit and greed.

comparison
Comparison
sloping and curving bricks, the dusty red blends together
creating a flowing solid rock wall, twisting and pulsating.
or
grand white pillars of stacked granite
worthy of the gates of the infinite cosmos
or
White frames for the panes of shining, warped glass,
piercing the clouds as if they might bleed
distorting any unlucky person
into a repulsive monster
the architecture
constructed in such a non compulsory manner
makes us humans look like poorly
constructed mistakes
drop
object of my affection
i rise you to the platform in my mind
the pedestal
let me bequeath it to you
like a wreath of prickles
around your bare neck
puncturing your porcelain
like a needle through plastic wrap
i rise you to the platform in my mind
the pedestal
let me bequeath it to you
like a wreath of prickles
around your bare neck
puncturing your porcelain
like a needle through plastic wrap
Scatter Fire
but how am i supposed
to release fire
with no flint rock
no tools
and no lighter
no,
not that
but
i have electrical charges
spitting through my mind,
and through my whole body
sparks start fires
words to spit
hot
bottled fire
with the lid off
to release fire
with no flint rock
no tools
and no lighter
no,
not that
but
i have electrical charges
spitting through my mind,
and through my whole body
sparks start fires
words to spit
hot
bottled fire
with the lid off
