which is designed to monetize you in any way possible.\u00a0 When someone discovers the passion of their unique role and contribution to the world, the machine pushes back as it has difficulty incorporating one&#8217;s soul eccentricities into it&#8217;s standardized system and dehumanized algorithms.\u00a0 Generous portions of creativity easily overwhelm &#8220;the way we have always done things&#8221; as well as distant, disconnected orders from big bosses.\u00a0 Creativity is so unnatural to the machine that it ultimately creates huge inefficiencies, even amidst its seeming devotion to efficiency.\u00a0 The machine typically finds it much more expedient to grind cows to hamburger than even milk them for all that they are worth.\u00a0 Workers&#8217; humanity routinely suffers the analogous outcome.\u00a0 Creativity that cannot be easily plugged into the machine is ignored, discounted, or actively stifled.\u00a0 In this poem, the sheer stupidity and foolishness of a system that fails to adapt to the unfathomable creativity of the human spirit is represented by the rhetorical question that is the title: Can she be eunuch?\u00a0 Beside the overlayed meaning of the pun eunuch\/unique, the definitional absurdity of a female being a eunuch (a castrated male) illustrates how the machine fundamentally misunderstands and misuses the very people it is alleged to serve.\u00a0 The machine is indiscriminate in its castration!\u00a0 Of coarse, such crudeness does serve some people, just not workers within the system.\u00a0 Even though a system well designed to incorporate human creativity and eccentricities could unleash incalculable efficiencies and productivity AND be well aligned with the desires and needs of each of those working within such a system, the capitalist system is not intended to produce the greatest good, particularly the common good, but instead is geared and cogged to produce material wealth for an elite few who pull the levers of so-called industry.\u00a0 Private profit at the expense of human potential and the common good is the only real order of the day in capitalism.\u00a0 The common good is reduced to foolhardiness as it is wide open to being robbed by the capitalistic princes of virtue, greed being the organizing principle of capitalism.\u00a0 Human attributes not easily monetized atrophy in capitalism.\u00a0 Turning humans into cogs for personal profit may very well be one of the better definitions of evil.\u00a0 Robbing others of their God-given creativity and eccentric passions for a few bucks and a cynical acceptance of a diminished humanity is a pathetic way of honoring the countless gifts humanity brings to the world.\u00a0 Courageous creativity, the bold commitment and determination to find a way to be who you were created to be, is the answer to the dehumanizing capitalistic machine.\u00a0 Reveling in the infinitely greater portion of life that is not easily monetized assures a home and hearth for your own humanity and all those who take the time to be present to such gifts.\u00a0 May you find your unique passions and the courage to boldly follow them in their many serendipitous consummations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She stated No one else can do what I do To witch They rejoined Realing in whore Accept that you are a cog You intractable wrench
