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.
