Never enough money

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?
