Property is theft

by

entry picture

We own nothing

Maybe, stewards we are

Passing on, even adding to,

But I don't think mother Earth

Would think that

Plastic fantastic mess we make.

At best we're renters

For a wee while

A daily subscription. at best

We take nothing with us.

Not even ourselves.

Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust

And this whole fucking

Cornucopia of law

Protecting private property

Keep off the grass

Trespassers will be prosecuted

Makes me laugh out loud

How deluded are we?

Thanks Tommy and Jacob. So many people so keen to protect their possessions, homes, advantages, money etc. So unwilling to share with the less priviliged. And we all end up with nothing! J

John it's always the same at the 'front'
even when you're at the back of the queue. But as both my granddads used to say 'there's more of us than them'. Tommy

I’m of the same mind. And I think this is one of the first times I’ve heard you use ‘bad’ language. Now it’ll surely snow.
