Golden Bullets

By Riccardo Fuccelli

This infopoetry aims to emphasize how much money is spent to feed the military market, and which nations are spending the most. The bullet becomes a small unit of violence and pain that becomes bigger as more money is spent, connecting money with the concept of military supremacy.

Metaphor used:

I’ve decided to use the bullet, as a small unit of violence and pain that becomes bigger as more money is spent. So, the medium selected is a well known object, an icon of the concept of war, a part for the whole thing (metonimy), even to make the difference between countries more physically and emotionally visible.
