can corporations feel?
can they believe in a god? can they eat? can they speak?
what does a corporation look like
and why does a corporation
have more political power
than me, the “citizen”

i can feel
i can believe in a god. i can eat. i can speak.
the space in which i occupy is my person
but why does a person
have less rights
than a stack of papers
than me, the “citizen”

all things loving rot eventually
but the wealth, the money, the impact always stays
to rule the next generation
of those who are living

listen here, my friends
am i guilty in my soul?
am i guilty to the bone?
i feel guilty on my own.

listen here, my friends
half a fraction claims our land
they do not understand
they do not understand
