To the fed up screamers,
day dreamers,
and Ponzi schemers -
If you sew a bustle,
build a trestle,
or run a hustle.
One day the work with cease,
you’ll see a new lease,
and you will find peace.
From your guidance,
will come subsidence,
of their reliance.
Just know that one day,
the work will cease.
Productivity will increase
and you will find peace.
Those you train,
will begin to reign
and the work will sustain.
One day you’ll be able to put your ringer on mute,
take off that suit
and stop the commute.
So you can get back to what
matters most:
a facebook post,
some avocado toast,
or a party with a real nice host.
