Manifesting real change - pay raises ain't progress
when enabling same ol' shit; wayward tradition
of "manifest destiny" can't succeed unless
it expands forever, which isn't condition
sustainable on terra firma in real life;
stock market crashes mean my zero percent stays
zero, hand-to-mouth pays no dividends (but strife
and stress) to heart; struggling to maintain decent ways
and means, ends only meet when supplemented by
secondhand scraps and absconded junk; recession
of hope manufactures depressed spirit, thus I
manifest real change, not slogans, not obsession
with new sheen to pretend same ol' shit smells fragrant;
human development still feels fairly vacant.
