    "You work 8 hours to live 4.
    You work 6 days to enjoy 1.
    You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes.
    You work 8 hours of sleep 5.
    You work all year just to take a week or two vacation.
    You work all your life to retire in old age.
    And contemplate only your last breaths.
    Eventually you realize that life is nothing but a parody of yourself practicing your own oblivion.
    We have become so accustomed to material and social slavery that we no longer see the chains.. "
    Life is a short journey, live it!

    it was long ago
    and, it was far away
    august of 1967
    that first, i heard this tune

    when i am old,
    and, losing my hair ?
    when i am 64,
    the lp sang !!!

    We set our lives
    to music, it seems
    A song by The Beatles
    Memories, of my 9th year

    so, life, it unravels
    slave 8, of 24
    bathroom 1, of 24
    errands 1, of 24
    laundry 1, of 24
    cooking 1, of 24
    sleeping 8, of 24
    traveling 2, of 24
    and, 2 to goof off !!!

    we work for 8
    get paid for 4-6
    the gov't gets 4-6
    and, didn';t do squat

    we work 5 days
    to get 2 days away
    but, when we get home
    the 'real' work begins

    we work 50 weeks
    during a year
    to get 2 weeks off
    for a trip, it seems

    sometimes, not knowing
    sometimes, not caring
    sometimes, so exhausted
    we lose track, of why we are doig it

    our minds, are so tired
    our hearts, are pounded by hurts
    makes me wonder, indeed,
    why do we bother ???
