Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
stuck
on a
losing streak
cash machine
always
empty
inflation
rising
sky high
wages
dipping
down low
be grateful
for what
you got
this workhouse
feels more
like slavery
profit margins
mean more
than peasants
suck it up
we love
you losers
your choice
food to eat
or heat
it don't
matter
which
we
get it all
in
the
end
be thankful
you're
not
dead

It's all so so viscerally true yet just can't help but hear that song.... which inevitably cracks me up!

hello dearest poet
I do my best to be grateful knowing I could have it worse
in a large part I am dependent on other people in one way or another
and personalities get in conflict that's when I have to remember it the most
my life could be worse...
great write...

A topical and accurate write, which had me nodding along. Too bad that our current government consists of rich toffs who have NO idea what it's like to be normal, to not be able to afford your usual weekly shop, or to put the heating on when required.

I agree with the sentiment so clearly expressed in this poem. My psychic life is a battleground but I know that I could have it much worse, it's just a matter of remembering it as often as possible and celebrating what I have. Thanks for the timely reminder!

It's a message that goes up the ranks, the struggle of the everyday person goes on for a long time.
Great work.
Great work.
