homeless heroin addict populism

I have been on the loosing end of capitalism.
albeit my poverty was of my own making
I stuck to my money management and income generation regimen with rigorous discipline each day yet failed to achieve upward mobility.
Example...
wake up on the blue line "L"train
walk aimlessly around downtown Chicago selling "good karma"
( i.e.hustling strangers out of their disposable income).
Reach my earnings target of approximately $53 USD,spend $50 on essential operating expenses (5 bags of heroin),
$2 dollars for housing costs (the all night "L"),
$1 for food expenses (McDouble)
back in those days I had become violently left wing.
the grinding day to day hell that is the of the life of a dope fiend whose sustenance depends on fast walking, affluent,no eye contact making, upper-middle class white collar commuters,will make you pray for revolution and radical capital reallocation.
A dope fiend in denial of his role of why he is in that state is like that.
87 days in jail, 90 days of intensive inpatient treatment,12 steps and 3 years later the Che Guevara in me has been officially
pacified with the help of a hard fought for, comfortable middle class income.
Like TuPac said...'somebody gotta explain why I ain't got shit'
