An Average Exploiter
an average child
born into an average life
earns averages grades
attends an average college
marries an average woman
both hold average jobs
live in an average home
pay an average mortgage
two average cars in the garage
share an average vacation each year
over dinner discuss an average day
welcome an average child

across the world
the leader of the exploited
keeps the lambs’ blood black
with the exploiter’s money
hires an evil clan
to teach the children to martyr

on an average blue sky day
an explosion
skews the average

the exploited become the exploiter
both die
while their greedy leaders grin
and toast with blunt swords
