#793 entitled

we have it all
we are not lazy
we aren't inclined against work
we just have no need
our parents do everything until we are 18
(or longer)
society will not let us fall too far down life's stairs
in fact society has a fence preventing us from getting near the stairs
with a bright ugly sign WARNING: STAIRS ARE DANGEROUS
and if we step over the sign and fall
somehow it's someone else's fault
maybe the sign wasn't ugly enough

i'm not lazy
i have no reason to work
my parents needed to work hard to earn anything
through their hard work, i am born with everything i need
and almost everything i want
i am not lazy
i am bored and ashamed
but i'm not lazy
