Breaking the financial shackles of a JOB(Just Over Broke)

This poem is dedicated to all of us who want to break free from your 9 to 5, 10 to 6, or whatever 8-hour shift you're stuck with right now.

You Are Not a Slave

You are not a slave

working your fingers to the bone

from the cradle to the grave.

You should be able

to enjoy the fruits

of your labor.

Leaving a family legacy

is something you should

be able to savor.

And you cant do that

when performing

slave labor.

You must become independent

and start working for yourself

Stop helping build the

legacy of someone else.

How much sense does it make?

When the harder you work

the more money they make.

If you do get a raise

the more the

government will take.

We have to shake the

mindset of the slave mentality.

Make independence for your

descendants a new reality

Make sure the legacy

for your family is kept up to date.

So it doesn't suffer from

a high mortality rate.

To remain a slave is a major defeat.

To find your freedom is a major victory.

Don't let the failure to find freedom

be part of the family history.

To believe in and achieve your freedom

5 words must be mentally embedded and engraved.

Pass it on to your descendants to maintain

historical independence...

You Are Not A Slave!!
