where the rich people will go

where the rich people will go

A Poem by delapruch
"

see note for reviewers.

"

when billionaires like the founder of

paypal have sucked all of us bottom feeders dry---

when they’ve exploited us, pulling the strings of the

politicians that pretend to work for us,

so that our rights & entitlements have been stripped,

so that our employment & health concerns have been thrown by the

wayside---

when 95+ percent of us who have less than the other 1-5%

are angry beyond words & have begun to finally

organize,

arm,

& lose it completely,

the rich will already be gone---

the rich who have not figured a way to physically leave this planet

for good (yet),

are building their little countries in the

international waters

with the help of organizations like the

seasteading institute,

and like something out of a cheese-filled sci-fi film,

people who want to rid themselves of us &

start from scratch,

living in a world even more

make-believe than this one,

will get the chance because they raped us really good,

squandering all that could have been used to build schools, provide

health care, etc.

 

these islands for the utterly selfish,

while providing a safe place for those that are wealthy &

sick of the rabble,

are also beautiful new targets for all kinds of terrorist organizations,

from the biggest who threaten whole states like the US and its buddies

to the common pirates taking out cruise ships---

with the hacktivists neutralizing their security systems &

the shark attack of terrorism

one wonders where the rich people will go

when their little islands are

burning?

Author's Note

delapruch
"There are quite a lot of people who think it's not possible," Thiel (Founder of PayPal)
said at a Seasteading Institute Conference in 2009, according to Details. (His first donation was in 2008, for $500,000.) "That's a good thing. We don't need to really worry about those people very much, because since they don't think it's possible they won't take us very seriously. And they will not actually try to stop us until it's too late."
