You wake up at six: intercourse with your spouse.
You're under the blanket with tightly shut eyes.
At seven a postman arrives to your house
With two printed portions of scandals and lies.

You turn the TV on. Your damn daily dose
Of lies is exceeded with fresh morning news.
You firmly believe global changes are close -
You have no idea they've hidden the truth.

In life you've achieved less than nothing, you're poor
Though you were the best both at college and school.
Well, man, who are you? You are not even sure.
In fact, you're a pawn in the game of a fool.

yes, I have realized for some time now that I "am a pawn in the game of a fool." the only difference is I don't get the sex in the morning.
The problem is I don't like living under a bridge so I continue the game. The trick is to keep them thinking I am just as big a fool as they are, no small feat.
The trick is to sit in staff meetings looking just like a department store manikin so that they don't ask me any questions. Also I always sit behind someone larger than me.
Loved the write
