Independence 101

 

Uptown doesn’t mean

You are down

With the beat.

Money may not

By happiness

But it sure can

Finance madness.

 

Cut the ties

Cause the

Puppeteer

Doesn’t know better,

Only the joy

Of how pulling

The strings

Moves his pocket.

 

Don’t let them

Play with your head

Like a toy

In a square.

Remember that

Jack In The Box

Only pops out on cue.

 

A mushroom

Is a vegetable

And you are not

On life support.

Don’t help

Their garden grow.

Till and enrich

Your own soul

So you can feed

The world

On your own.

I absolutely love this. I try not to interpret everything with a political slant these days, but I can't help it when reading this. You have hit the nail on the head of why I'm so glad to be living in CA, as a state, we are doing what we feel is right, regardless of the BS spewing from the bully pulpit. You've managed to impart this lesson without it sounding one bit angry or accusatory or bitter. It's just stating the facts. Well done!

Can't let society or money tell you how to live. Gotta live to your own beat.
