What I am trying to work out

 

What I am trying to work out

- and this is a sincere question -

is why or how (or even when) it is 

~or ever would be - OK for me to be 

so drained financially, in every sense, 

that we cannot afford to buy food.  

How does that represent an OK 

outcome of your planning, your plotting, 

your scheming? How can this be the 

outcome you sought? And yet it seems, 

yet again, that this is entirely the 

desired effect. Look, I’ve pulled the exit cord, 

I’ve signalled in every way at my disposal 

(and some that are not, but I used them 

anyway) that I’m done with this repeating

cycle of penury and lack. And yet still you persist 

with your outrageous misuse of my life. 

What should I do? A member of your

number is hungry - and will be sick, very sick, soon

with that hunger. That hunger has arisen entirely

as the inevitable consequence of all of your

corrosive mendacities. How is it OK - how

was it EVER OK - to treat me like this? 

Yeah, you better believe I am calling

this out - and loudly - and my noise will find

its mark, so that your amused indifference

is revealed for the disgusting sham that it is. 

And every person who willingly allowed this to 

occur, once, twice, or the third 

time now, will be denounced amongst their

peers, yes, this and every time, until

this mode of my suffering is erased 

permanently. And even then your names 

will fall from my parched, worn out mouth 

until nothing is left but the marks of

your crime seared into the shadows 

of the earth.
