Since the US war-machine needs my taxes to bomb poor people who live far away,
Since few people in my overweight low-info uncivilization know or care about that,
Since plebeian culture has permeated and is now acceptable throughout society,
Since I have no influence or control over these factors to change the outcomes,
Since God is sovereignly ruling and reigning over all aspects of everything,
Since our leaders do not care about the stability or well-being of the masses,
Since polarization intensifies every day as we become a decadent empire,
Since poetry is the epitome of uselessness and art is reduced to commodity,
Since pharmaceutical corporations want to keep people drugged and passive—
Therefore, I will cease to worry about outcomes that are beyond my ability to change,
and I will pay my taxes, for the time being . . .
