Legitimate Gangsters
By Seb
We live in a world where the very foundation
of our economic system is
based upon social ranks.
The higher you climb, the closer you
might get to the cartel of banks.
If you like to talk about organized crime,
Perhaps the most powerful
institution of all times,
Then look a little closer at whose controlling
the issue of every single dime.
Most gangsters go to war, have guns
and sell cocaine on the street.
But the best gangsters create wars, sell
guns and are people you’ll never meet.
Here’s a question:
What’s a bigger crime?
To own a prison
or to be in one?
To shoot each other with AK47’s?
Or to be the person selling
both sides the guns?
The truth is none.
Both are bound by circumstances,
conditioning and causality.
The act or position is simply
the deterministic outcome.
Yet besides that people's sense
of morality seems twisted.
But what else can one expect from a world
where arms dealers, CEO’s and bankers
are the last ones to be convicted.
It’s also interesting how uniforms and
badges seem to make killing people ok.
Like all those soldiers and cops murdering innocent
civilians in this unequal game we play.
The various institutions of this system legitimize
those who serve the establishment up top.
Whereas the low-level players are economically
disadvantaged and demonized nonstop.
How can you justify such a system where the
ruling elites dress in million dollar suits,
Whilst billions unnecessarily work meaningless
jobs like programmed prostitutes.
One can’t, as the entire pyramid structure
pushes an aggressive mob mentality
With some level of hate, violence, and
classism being apart of everyday reality.
The entire corporate structure
seems to be like the mafia.
Power consolidation, loyalty,
and merciless practices
are the protocols that breed this egomania.
However, I’m not saying that one should hate
any type of gangster, legitimized or otherwise.
Like all humans, we are products of culture
and our socioeconomic structure,
which is important to realize.
What I am saying though is that being ruthless,
brutal, predatory, competitive and acquisitive,
just like a gangster,
does not come out of nowhere.
It is taught by this capitalistic culture
with all the ghettos, inequality,
movies, media, business
schools and universities
molding humans everywhere.
And as long as this trade game exists,
Our world of low level and legitimate
gangsters will persist.
