As If

 Act as if
you're happy.
What would
A happy person do?

Create
Eat
Rest
Hydrate

Born
out of love
Created
out of joy

The Sun
is there, even
when it's overcast

We say fake it till you make it. Unsurprising that we would call happiness as fake, living in a system that ascribes personhood to corporations while capitalism dreams up financial instruments designed to rig the system (remember sub-par loans?).

They try their hardest to convince us that their inventions are concrete and sure-things, then come running to me for bail-outs while, at the same time, they press their boots harder against my throat.

I wonder, though, if the system has it backwards? What if our very nature is Joy-warm like Elder Brother Sun, luminous like Grandmother Moon?
