Jan 15th 2021 "green and gold"

——I feel the shackles heavy today

They weigh me down, take my joy-

I don't really ask for much okay-

But someday I hope not to be employed-

I toil away the hours, they are not used for my own-

For you see I'm on someone else's dime-

Through my emotions it is really shown.-

They take something you can never reclaim, time.-

I have spent years of my life talking to folks-

Selling things they don't even need-

Getting them to buy it all with my jokes-

For this is how I have survived the capitalist greed.-

While I will never Escape capitalism's hold-

I hope to learn to use it for my own, if I may be so bold——
