Letter to Elon R. Musk
Anonymous
Dear Elon,
You built a universe of electric dreams
a constellation of companies orbiting around you like the sun
like empty satellites
but here, feet stuck on the ground, it shakes
with empty stomachs
A pop star with bright green hair imitating aurora
sent out a post, aimlessly floating through the internets dark
imagining what your wealth could do
Ten billion to protect new lungs
Forty billion to feed neglected appetites
Fifty Three billion to aid the city in rubble
one little star asking the larger one for help
Elon.
Your response shot across the web like a shooting star that had lost its way
You could have orbited towards kindness
Could have let generosity fill your heart
but you deflected
As if kindness was too much to afford
The world WILL keep spinning
only, it will be hungry and helpless and heartless
people will wonder how a man that supposedly holds the universe
can feel so far from the people living on it
and as your future shines
everyone but the orange man
will wait to see
your prized companies finally fall
And when your rockets are finally grounded, and your cybertrucks no longer drive
You remember
You WILL remember
that maybe, the universe is too big for you after all
