No For An Answer

“no” for an answer

“no” to conspicuous consumption
“no” to religion
“no” to nationalism
‘no” to authoritarianism
“no” to fascism
“no” to unchanging tradition
“no” to elitism
“no” to sexism
“no” to racism
“no” to ethnocentrism
“no” to global domination
“no” to exploitation of workers
“no” to exploitation of citizens
“no” to raping the resources of others
“no” to worshipping celebrity
“no” to advertising whoremongers 
“no” to bullying surveillance 
“no” to masturbatory imprisonment of
         everything that moves, for the 
         sad attempt to keep all the above in
         check.
“no” to those looking for “yes.”
