9 To 5

Rants about work
People complain.
They don’t want to be ordinary.
They want to be legends but don’t
Put in the work to obtain
That status.

They want more than what they have, 
Yet can barely sustain
The lives they lead now.
But, they feel restrained 
By a “regular job”.

Mentality strained.
Ego’s flying through the air.
Is it a bird?
It’s a plane.

People think they’re too good
For everything these days.
It’s insane. 
I’m not here to criticize.

I’m keeping it plain.
