hello, i am

What kind of fucking intersection
is this,
that a
billion
roads branch out from it.
What kind of fucking mess
is this,
that a 
billion
choices hang suspended,
awaiting my decision.

This is the Game of Life,
I am Your pawn.

Upon my chest
a tag that reads,
hello, I am expendable.

oh girl.

this is almost an echo of what I was discussing in a sociology tutorial (it will definitely be of a different context to that which you wrote this for).. how the people of China are like pawns to the Chinese government. Grand plans of corporate interest, economic growth and 'window dressing' leave the actual citizens', or should i stress, individuals' well being an inferior priority - as if that will eventually/naturally/miraculously follow if they just made more overall cash and started more companies and hosted more international events...

p.s. choices don't necessarily involve a wrong decision. Ok. thats badly phrased. I mean like, just cause there are like 10 different paths branching out from an intersection, we tend to think that there will at least be one wrong path, but they could all be right. just different. Anyway. you need tell me what this is about specifically.

lov.
