Asking The Impossible Of Government

In a liberal capitalist economy
slavery will only become a convictable offence
when legislators pass legislation that forces judges
to account accurately for the irreversable power
of the conditioning that is reinforced through poverty.
Values where reward no longer rewards and to sink
to the bottom of the financial system is to lose
all ability to distinguish traffickers who will cheat
the poor of their wages with easy talk, from those
who are there to genuinely help, and not exploit weakness.
Particularly when in reality all that traffickers have to offer
is a well preserved fear which hides in plain sight
of the determination, once being the weakest, themselves,
to never be there again-by putting others there instead.
