Munitions Need Markets

Poem

A pill is a demon.
It feeds on our misery.
It needs upset stomachs,
because only then can it survive and thrive.

A fighter needs fists to fight,
but he doesn’t need guns- he has arms enough!
But guns need fighters,
and without any wars to fight the guns will go away.
So the gun wants more of them,
and will push for their existence.

Unsolved problems don’t need solutions,
but solutions need problem else they cannot exist.
Let a solution run your life,
and your problems will multiply.

Food vendors at sports events need more matches.
Dentists desire tooth decay and sugar.
The news needs nightmare to become reality.
An illustrator made obsolete by AI needs laws made by luddites.
AI needs nations who remove the manual override.

Which problem in society is your life style based upon?
What pain and suffering does your subconscious dream about?
Whose misery does your bank account yearn for?

Are you your tool’s tool?
