Business Class Blues
I tend to have Turrets only on flights.
Right when I enter, I can’t help but notice the business class seats,
and i just can’t help myself:
Corruption! Corruption! I accidentally blurt out.
and occasionally Money laundering, Money laundering
and even sometimes Check their bags! Their jewelry isn’t personal!
and even more rare Capital flight! Capital flight!
and just for laughs Forced Labour! Forced Labour!
but the funny thing is when you buy your little business class ticket,
the airline says: “whats your Credit Card number?”
never “are you corrupt? did you steal this money? is it clean? we don’t want to be associated with killers, mobsters, drug dealers, people who ruin youth, addict others, steal from the indigenous, cover oil fields, create wars, launder money, and enslave others”
it turns out… no one cares.
as Jesus said: “it is easier for an elephant to get through the eye of a needle, than a rich man to Heaven”
