A Seamless Box
A Poem
Just vote
There’s no knife to your throat
Just vote
Who cares if you can afford your child’s new coat
Just vote
We need a new boat
Just vote
Now the knife is to your throat
The world grows hotter and hotter
Just hold out
Vote a little harder
Who cares for the protection of your daughter
We have ours
Just switch to electric cars
They’ll change everything
Blame the consumer
They’re responsible for the environmental tumor
Shhh,
I heard a rumor
The new battle is gen z vs boomer
Time to destroy ourselves
Some of the structures will remain
Even after we’re drained
The stealth
Of intergenerational wealth
Entire families living on the philosophy of self first
They own us in life
And in the hearse
Bleeding us dry
Charging us to live and die
There is no doubt
We have but a few ways out
Stop holding the knife to your brother’s throat
It’s time to do more than vote
