Convenient Cash

How convenient
when win/lose competitive
self-empowering political beliefs
of straight white male
monocultural dominance

Just happens to coincide
with justified economic enslavement
with sacred self-righteousness,
blind to systematic racist history
of capital extraction economics
birthing God's republic of the rabid
through patriarchal worship of capitalization

Favoring retributive producers 
of the lash
and noose
and not restoring consumers 
of the unhealthy sting
and suffocating death.
