We are clothed ants/we march from our hills/
to begin our wonderful dance/while we kill/
time/our lives/for meaningless paper/
what will my eyes see/when im wrinkly amd grayer/
how i stayed hear/played inta fear/and wasted/
not just all night/but each year i stay wit/
this same job/worthless pay/let's face it/
that your their bitch/they get rich/you stay shit/
then your face gets hit/by the feeling that your a failure/
the world can see it/you have no veil your/
being choked up/geta grip/say fuck the employ-yer/
they dont respect you/unless your in their store/an' your/
pockets got money/and your eyes have a gleam/
monetary evils/they will take you for everything/
some how now they're king/recruiting us all to bring/
the top of the heirarchies bank accounts/to something astounding/
so they say!!!

Wheel Cogs All
Been there, felt that. Unreal is right. Artifical constructs flow from financial and economic entities, hence 2008 and the real estate kafauffle. Now, the Congress (another artifical construct) can't agree to support the world and not the country's failing cities (other artifical constructs). Cogs. Agreed. People who plant trees and cut the grass should be the highest paid. Eventually, we will get back to rewarding what will keep us alive. Working for someone else requires strength, mental fortitude, a lot of denial, and parking your conscience and emotions at the door before entering the work place. Death of creativity results otherwise. ~a~
