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 Buddham Saranam Gacchami Dhammam Gacchami Sangham Saranam Gacchami 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
