Bullshit Jobs
What if
we didn't have to
waste our days,
earning a living.
What if machines,
could provide
all we needed
to free mankind.
We passed that point
long ago,
but let's invent some jobs
to keep the plebs in tow.

...then I shall be a poet...I really like my new job title! From now on when people ask what I do I shall say I'm a poet :)
(pay is not great though, but at least it's real job).
Thank you for your encouraging comment... in more ways than one.

pay is not great thought ? Interesting typo there, given the context of the poem. I think I'll follow your lead, and tell people my job description is Poet from now on too. But I believe it to be one of those titles which is always to be capitalized. Like, President... (Poet probably requires more better thought thought, though...😌)

haha, thank you for pointing out the typo!(which I have now corrected). I shall blame it on my broken wrist which makes typing challenging at the moment.
Thank for your THOUGHTS(!) fellow poet.
