Employment

Trifling with want-ads every morning,

Seeking acceptance in check that we were not earned.

Looking at help in things you do not want to do,

But have no choice.

But to live with that choice is to live with that for a while.

So you go to school,

Learn skills to make you better at a job of your choice.

But you must go through the boss in order to do it.

And even that takes skills, falling from the sky.

Once you get the job you must follow a standard.

The job becomes another world.

You come home with something of value,

A sense of worth.
