Boycott and Embargo

Despite the mistaken descent
of so many of us into silos of
sameness and personal identity,

We, the People yet have the power
to topple the felon king from Queens,
to school the idiot savant from Pretoria,

to bankrupt and silence Andreesen, Bezos,
Ellison, Gates, Koch, Leo, Thiel, Zuckerberg,
and their sundry, sundried, ass-kissing ilk.

They all need us and our minds, but none of us
needs them or the crap they shove down our throats.

Let us make common cause and boycott our oppressors,
one after the other, until they shudder at our numbers,
until they quiver and quake at the strength of our unity.

United we stand, Divided, we fall for one lie after another.
