I am viewed by the system
As a machine

Work, work, work
Where is my job?

There are no jobs in California
You go to college
Then get more education

And the best I'll be able to do
This year is working part time somewhere
For thirteen dollars an hour

What a joke

You know
The more I live
The less I think of this place called earth

Better to think of it as like a matrix system

Besides I live life in what I feel is the wrong body
I would have had more fun as a woman

Oh well
I won't waste anytime thinking about it

Money!
That's all that matters
And I'm poor
Always poor
No jobs to be found

What a joke
This stupid game

I didn't go to college
Then go get sixteen months more of education
So I could work for minimum wage

What a joke
And our country is trillions of dollars in debt

I like to write poems when I am in a bad mood
Sometimes I am not so optimistic
It's good to write poems in good and bad moods

I don't like living here
With the way this economy is
I'll have to live here for another year at least

Well I refuse to go work
For minimum wage

If the powers that be
Will not hire me
To do my duty then fine!!!!!

It's not my fault
I've done everything right
And I do not care anymore
