Don't Give Drugs to Those Who Need Earnings

Depression can be avoided it people had meaningful jobs and robust relations

People are sad.

Why wouldn’t they be?

They spent decades

pursuing hard academics,

hoping to do meaningful work,

to earn and save.

But it’s not happening.

No one cares

for the knowledge and learning.

I write for multiple platforms—

a few dollars from each.

It won’t pay for anything.

Stress and frustration

are inevitable.

If I seek help,

I will be given drugs.

Really?

Is that a solution for the victim?

Sadness comes from

no earning,

no meaningful connection.

Yet the suggested answer is

medication—

of course businesses will

benefit from this approach.

It’s a crazy, dysfunctional world.
