the drain trays
where we spend our days
till grey years
eatin bones

the drain trays
eatin 'n worse
business preys
on you

down in the eatin' ditch
the U.S. sellin
screams at you
BUY!

in the drain tray
you live your life
making illness pay
till your dyin' day

go to the work queue
take your pay
drag the end of day
to the drain tray

ah...yes

Some days it all does seem to be that all we do is "live to work" so that we can "work to live".  You well caught the seeming frustration and the futilely of it all.

You do whatcha gotta do...you just have to fill your spare moments with things that make you happy (for me - a nice lazy day of doing nothing )

hugs,

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

Oh I hope these feelings were only for the moment.  Such raw emotion.  Joyce
