Critique of Economic Systems and Ownership

They took the trees, our fruit trees, and then sold us back the fruit.

They took the water next, the rivers, the rain, the springs that fed

civilizations for thousands of years.

They took the water, bottled it, and sold it back to us.

They took the land, land that existed long before any human being

drew lines

around it, and told you that if you wanted to stand on it,

you better have a

payment plan. Am I the only one this drives crazy?

Everything you need to survive, water, food, shelter, was already here.

Nobody created it, but somehow you were born owing for it.

And why does a free life sound like such a crazy idea?

Why does simply existing without debt, without bills, without

permission, why does that sound like a fantasy?

Who the hell convinced us that this is how it's supposed to be?
