they steal your time and dignity
and pay you but a pittance
they treat you like a prisoner
when you leave they say good riddance
they never know the secrets
that burn within your soul
they lack imagination
they never will be whole
the grub for fame or money
they value nothing worth
they leave behind no imprint
on the dry and dusty earth
but you make monoliths
you sing and paint and draw
you love and laugh and leave
the world better than before
so don't get too discouraged
don't give up without a fight
survive the best you can
until you set the world alight
