Welfare

Welfare Office
Color orange
People swarming
Almodovar there
Demanding
"Biftec"! and more

Welfare Office
Patterson
Middle level
Bureaucrat
Bright space
Second floor
Telephones talk
And workers walk

Welfare Office
Supervisors
Many drinkers
Who's the wiser?

Welfare Office
Workers go
And go and go and go
They're the ones who walk the walk

Some are kind
One scares a client
She's old and feels he's a giant

from 2-5-08

Two cultures
One addictive
The other forgiving
One incentivates
In other words, rewards and punishes
The other allows for freedom of action and then forgives unwanted actions
Where woould you prefer to be?
In the one
Where everything is polarized?
Or in the other
Where there is no prize?
I like the second one the best
Where we can come and go as equals
Taking our chances with everyone else
Courageously facing life
With all its strife
Not wasting our time
Trying to control
What isn't our responsibility
To know

Trouble

Sickness in the schools
From home
In the homes
From work
In the workplace
From the economy
In it
From the elite leaders
In them
From before
Only now, more and more
