500 people own half of the world's wealth, and none of them deserve it. Not one. Even the ones that 'earned' their own money took it with short cuts along the way that involved union busting, inherited wealth, unfair competition, monopolies and very often actual criminal behavior. We need to fix that.

Prince Polonium
by Emmit Other
All over Russia
Patriots protest evil
Twitter talks about swatches
Do you know how hard
It is to protest in -30 degree weather?
This dark shadow across the world
This nepotistic freak
The father of the axis of fascism
Patron saint of illiberal democracy
And conservative lies
One man stands up to him
Balls of Steel
And the Dark Lords of Silicon Valley
Distract you with Cat Videos
Gross beyond Gross

This Too Shall Pass
By Emmit Other
Entropy is constant
The great objective truth
But that doesnt speed our perception
of the darkest of times
Hour compounded on hour
Til the longest night
Seems the darkest year
Time is the slayer of everything
But only experience is a balm
Against how it seems
Darkness will return
Darkness will recede
But today we got a vaccine
Against forgetting in the pit
That there is something more
That light exists
Even when we cannot see it
This too Shall Pass.
