Plenty to do
Giving away all that i earn
paying back debts
bouncing checks
charges each time
unforseen debits unwind
careful plans, tightly timed
consumerism is mentalism
life is earning
money for things
stuff, temporary highs
gadgets for bums tums and thighs
spending whole lifetimes earning and for what?
faster PC, cars with speed
property out of reach
need to be real, I have no estate
missing payments drops me flat on my face
more charges, more fees
burning electronic money as well as trees
cards worn through too much use
internet buying builds hidden debt
less indecision, less regret
non-hasty despatch causes much fret
37 hours a week and for what?
the latest phone, piss ups and fuel costs
ten hours a day dedicated to work
spending your life with people you don't like
salary for the sake of it
many break down, can't take the pace of it
constant stress, and for what?
what is the purpose of mindless tolerance?
depression, angst and suicide
rushed espressos hurt the chest
lack of greater good numbs the mind
spending 10 weeks to plan 2
holiday a different kind of stress
head down, and drive
to where exactly?
migraines, tumours, strokes for what?
self-importance in jobs
unwilling to progress, resistance of risks
lack of social life, no chance to court
bedroom just a place to sleep
many seeking power, but aren't trained how to use it
naturals can't explain how they do it
force-fed fun doesn't help productivity
quantifying and defining of good management kills the spirit
between services and consumers, trenches are made
customer has responsibilities to give
help helper to maintain self esteem
a smile to a waiter gives better service
unfinished business, untied ends
serve your role properly and less treading on toes
no sense of responsibility, and for what?
courtesy and giving way allows all to progress
will we always need police to unblock traffic jams?
