1032 - Theft, Pure & Simple


Haiku Horizons prompt: steal


Theft, pure and simple.

Capitalism—
Please don’t label it stealing.
It is.  But please don’t.


First: they steal your joy,
Second: they sell you the cure.
Choose your addiction.


They steal our climate
To dump their pollution.
But not near their homes.


They create our fears
And then introduce laws
To steal our freedom.
