scaling the walls of scarcity
technology is heralded as the victors against scarcity
in the western world
fired with privilege
with such advancements
and a multicultural society
with religious freedom
one might think
that morality and scarcity
are unlit fossilized ashes
and that is a matter for far away shores
but scarcity is not joined at the hip with natural resources
but with anything
of a finite nature
created or otherwise
such as time
the beginning of a work day is an arrangement aloof
in the arbitrary
from the consequences to the lack of adherence
then the point of technology alleviating or alienating
scarcity
it is possible but is it probable is the question
as with tube space allocation and the number of carriages
that descend those of proposed morality on the opposing sides
of fairness and equality
huddling help and turning the other cheek out of mind
as morality now is a liability
a luxury not afforded
where one pokes under the proposed
canopy of civility
where civilians rather
risk carriage collisions
inner cranium contusions
than forgo their afforded privileges
or to slip in front of another deviously
yet huff and puff when someone reciprocates
their deed
do unto others as you have them do unto you
the same preachers of collectivism
wearing emblems of national flags upon clothing
ironically endorsing and promoting a structure
then clamber over with ease over one of its inhabitants
to further individualistic gains
for this space
a space compact
in between a multitude
you hustle and bustled with
or passed
to the point of not letting passengers off the train
of such a regular occurrence
tfl actually have employees to advise travelers to let others
disembark from the carriage
before any attempt to embark
creating this perpetuated karma
uninhibited by audible advice
the sword of scarcity cutting off the ties to morality
ushering its subjects to the callous
but as i find myself being ushered closer and closer
to the yellow safety line
become territorial for my spot
and angling my body
i remark at how scarcity has no power
and it is our weakness that fuels it
it is not a tower
some impregnable fortress of infallible fortitude
but a ditch of our own digging devices
and i begin to see others greedily pass me to be pressed up
against the glass
for the next carriage to have more than enough room
and that scarcity has the power we give it
for time is our construction not our task master
and that we should be the change we want to see
so thanks again for reading i have been very active so the post have been thick and fast
so keep your eye for the next one within the next
yes
four days
