The Peasants

 Sitting in the parking lot of the super market Kadizzle watched the low paid employees scuffle about. The sheer number of people living on subsistant wages is frightening. These poor people are lost in the wilderness. Their income goes up in the flames from their ciggarettes, and tattoos.  They push the hamburgers out the window, and the grocery carts back in the store.  This is what it must have been like in the days of slavery.  Suffering people were taken for granite. Our economy relies on exploitation. Bezos makes billions from Amazon while people's grandma shuffles around in the warehouse for peanuts.  The nightly news shows toddlers starving in India and Africa while the yachts sit idle in the Mediterranean.  Off the coast of Chile the fishing boats bring in protein that is fed to our dogs while many in Chile lack protein.
