Days of Our Lives
A handful of fools plant seeds. They get a few to nurture the planted.
A few people are then hired to sell the planted to the masses.
The masses work for eight-hours a day just to have money to buy the planted.
Scarcely a few, amongst the masses, afford the planted.
Institutions that lend money to the few are brought to being. Banks, they’re named.
Money is lent. Supper is had. Somebody is then indebted to someone.
Most amongst the few still don’t have enough to buy necessities; as if that’s not enough, somebody now has the someone to pay, and starvation to ditch.
(The little that is earned today is used to pay for last night’s supper.)
