• Imperial Heartbeats, Pt. I

The global chain industry
must capitalize.
It must control everything around it,
lest it stifle potential profit.

The global chain industry
must accumulate,
capital, labor
nature, lives.

The global chain industry
must expand or die.

Resources might be confined
to a planet that is finite,
but the chain industry demands
infinite growth,
infinite gains.
To not heed its commands would prove
a most dire mistake—
the world might lose its chains.

Empire has a heartbeat.
You can hear it if you just
stay quiet and listen.
Empire has a heartbeat.
You can hear it if you just
work hard and stay obedient.

Fret not.
The global chain industry
is a conscientious one.

Imperial heartbeats.
Omnipresent,
always beating.
Omnivorous,
always eating.

Imperial heartbeats are the
sounds of its subjects
trying to breath,
trying to live.

Palpitations of stifled life.
Stifled life
or stifled profit?
Choose one.
(The question is,
whose life?
whose profit?)
Palpitations of stifled profit.
Imperial heartbeats
beat the life
out of you.
Listen.
Can you hear?
That’s the sound of freedom,
freedom upon the horizon.
Can you feel it?
Pain is weakness leaving the body—
the body,
that same vessel empire beats like a drum,
in a desperate attempt to show some sign of life,
any at all.

Repeat after me.
