This reminds me of a poem I wrote about the American education system being likened to a gulag.
I love it. My friendly feedback would actually be nixing the bit about a childish voice and actually incorporating the title into the poem. One idea came to mind as well which would be a bit of a parody of an old song,
Your land is my land
The first one there gets to charge admission
The great American race
Or something like that, or any other creative idea
Anyway, great stuff! It has always baffled me of the idea of government “owning” land. They should be stewards of it and no more.

It is a call back to last one there is a rotten egg, and first is worst, second is best.
Wasn't sure how else to try to express that inflection.

LOL! YAS! This is social commentary at its most sardonic, and I fucking am here for it.
The person who gets to benefit from the freedom of beauty promptly capitalizes on that shit. Thank gods the ancestors didn't start charging for air.
Well done. I fucking love this.

And I fucking love you! Feels good to find similar thinkers. I do not insist I am always right, and I always appreciate a good conversation with those who disagree, but it sure feels better to be agreed with and supported rather than called stupid or worse without any actual claims.

This reminds me of that old adage, 'those who have the gold makes the rule' you are simply an amazing, blue-eye poet of few words, yet your point of view seems to resonate at full measure, and I like the Taoism vibe at times.
Enjoy your weekend.
