Because I can't shit upwards

Because I cannot shit upwards,
I use my shit to convince those being shit on
to rage against those shitting on them.
I will become the shitter
to catalyze the mission,
but know I shit with love, with passion and compassion,
with the guts and the bile to see what is causing the problem and die trying to fix it.  
If it didn't require shit,
I would use a different expedient means.  



"Computer learning"
While writing this poem
autocorrect started correcting "shit" to "shot,"
but, by the end of the poem,
I had written "shit" so many times
it automatically started to autocorrect
"Shot" to "shit."
And now I have another poem within this poem

Author's Note
This is a quote from a movie called The Platform.  It is incredible, but also incredibly graphic.  It is on YouTube and Netflix. https://youtu.be/U6zPkPtPvW0?si=sdFxgP5o3DhDEhrI. This link hopefully works.
