Life and Times: Working Shift

Did you start working at 16?
I hope not, cause then you were stripped of your youth. Instead of figuring out your life, and your world, and your future your were trapped within a food store getting paid 5.15 and hour. Is it worth precious time spent living? No, but it is a fundamental quandary we face when in the throngs of this world. Being forced to smile and conform and agonize over a few cents a minute in order to fulfill a worthless material that offers monetary comfort within our bubble. No, it isn't worth chasing a love, interest, or friend. Making mistakes, gaining scars, or causing trouble throughout your neighborhood. It is then that we discover ourselves, instead of wishing we were home dreaming. Being active is better than not living. Being blinded by consumerism. It is hypocritical! I won't allow my life to be sapped of glorious time! We don't have much. That is something that we owe ourselves. Just to try to live and learn and love the earth and all that dwell on it. Create, prosper, and relax. It is a better life, one that can smile at a disaster. Now, excuse me while I clock in for the day...
