Where the Rich People Will Go

when billionaires like the founder of
paypal have sucked all of us bottom feeders dry---
when they’ve exploited us, pulling the strings of the 
politicians that pretend to work for us,
so that our rights & entitlements have been stripped,
so that our employment & health concerns have been thrown by the
wayside---
when 95+ percent of us who have less than the other 1-5%
are angry beyond words & have begun to finally
organize, 
arm, 
& lose it completely,
the rich will already be gone---
the rich who have not figured a way to physically leave this planet 
for good (yet),
are building their little countries in the 
international waters 
with the help of organizations like the
seasteading institute,
and like something out of a cheese-filled sci-fi film,
people who want to rid themselves of us &
start from scratch,
living in a world even more 
make-believe than this one,
will get the chance because they raped us really good,
squandering all that could have been used to build schools, provide
health care, etc.

these islands for the utterly selfish,
while providing a safe place for those that are wealthy &
sick of the rabble,
are also beautiful new targets for all kinds of terrorist organizations,
from the biggest who threaten whole states like the US and its buddies
to the common pirates taking out cruise ships---
with the hacktivists neutralizing their security systems &
the shark attack of terrorism 
one wonders where the rich people will go
when their little islands are
burning?
