Why is there such a notion That to live is not a motion Worthy of its own praise? A life is considered meaningless That is to say, unless One works for most of their days I can't help but ask a simple question If work is but a societal invention To stop us all from thinking about The things we've all been living without Life should underlie everything we do Not just something which we aspire to Or leave in the bowl of an office loo But please do share your thoughts Flood On why we should work and slave in the mud Towards that which we had all along As though we are not worthy Without a substantial sin song
