"The principle of Scarcity"
The principle of scarcity
This is a false principle
Love is limited and wealth
is finite
Certainly you don't think
that
You can have everyone get
ahead
My God loves me and he loves
you
But it's your love that
I want
It's you I want to stand
in front of
Give me your love and give
it to no one else
Have no others before me
God has a lot of love, sure,
but you only have so much
Just like money
Here let me limit yours
so that I can have more
Just like love money has
limits
This is what we have come
to believe in this jealous world
A world of limits and things
to limit
Things to have
And things to keep others
from having
This is a clever ruse a
deception
Put over on us by ourselves
We have been so jealous
now we even keep our thoughts to ourselves
We call it "Intellectual
property" a sort of oxymoron
Let's blame this on the
devil he made us do this to each other
Bosh
The devil never had anything
to do with love
And he learned long ago
not to lend us any money
We cheated him so
Anyway it would be the devil
who would want us all to be rich
So that we might completely
bury ourselves
Enough of that
I just realized what I have
argued myself into
God is playing this trick
on us
Maybe he is behind this
principle of scarcity
Does this cause us to search
for him?
Bosh again, this causes
us to doubt God
That is proof then of the
power of
The false principle of scarcity

This is very much so related to my theory
of philosophy entitled "The Puzzle and the Prism of Difficulty."
It is about our consumerist society which
is filled with people who are blind to everything but their next toy.
Well, partially. It is about a lot
more than that, but that is good for a start. |
