Convenient Genocide: Starving Out the Poor




When shall the next world war begin over a long outdated system, or has it already? Trading our liberties in fear of something that has been around for a long time. All this being a distraction for what is really going on and shall those who awaken to this be sent to the slaughter as so many have predicted, or silenced through convenient mishaps? Shall we be surprised when history repeats itself, only using different characters?

All this man made tumult, while the earth dies from abuse; yet, solutions kept silent with alternative technologies being here for decades, and instead we keep pumping the blood of the earth in exchange for the blood of the poor. Cheap excuses of scarcity, and market value are used only to charge starvation prices on the backs of the helpless and remain stagnant within an outdated financial system. Because convenience is our God, we sit back and remain complacent, letting it all happen, ignorant of what it really means and where it will all end.

How can we place a value on human life? Yet we do everyday by watching the poor die by the droves because they have to live in the most inhumane poverty, while others amass wealth greater than entire nations. Drunk on the spoils of gouging, hiding in palaces with bunkers like those prophesied of hiding in the dens and the rocks. Shall the rest of us fall through the same cracks as the less fortunate half of all of mankind? Shall we remain complacent accomplices to the worst genocide of all of history: the gross unequal distribution of wealth. While tens of millions die each year as a result of this greed. In the end, we dare to call this genocide: "economics"
