Kaep-italizing

March 5, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

Capitol says more to me than a state’s highest city, but the many unheralded and unappreciated smaller ones that surround it

Capital says more to me than bigger letters, but greater-thans and less-thans, possessions, and how this country was founded

Cap says more to me about power, privilege, and imposed limits protecting position and property over people

Capitulation says more to me about domination and enforced conformity and liberalism being evil

Capitalizing says more to me about kicking dead horses and exploiting the weak, profiteering at all levels and getting ahead at all costs
symbolized by old nooses

because the truth is

Capitalism says more to me than a competitive economic institution,
it’s a consciousness that paves ways for many intended and unintended humanity abuses

therefore, Kaepernick, says more to me about the truth and how capitalism has no time to change its view, therefore, most time, hope seems useless
