Cattlepitism Edit Meaning

1.

Well, it used to be pronounced differently

back when the pitwasn't quite so deep,

to say nothing of the pendulums.

Under the tenets of cattlepitism,

it would appear that material necessities were kept scarce

at the lowest levels

in order to boost profitability for the highest ones.

The invention of electronic blips of currency,

in lieu of the actual minted variety,

made possible the removal of real value

from the commerce of the people who created it

to the digit banks of those who exploit them.

Imaginary funds were rented to the poor

while wavering economic policies

created boom and bust cycles of foreclosure

or should we say 'garage sales' of property

for the moneyed interests who,

having commissioned the rules themselves,

manage to retain their bonuses, even when times are 'tough'

for the people who move more than blips

in the course of their workdays.
