A Way of Life

All work and no play Is not a way to live All play and no work Is all take With not much give Work is essential No job no money How would one survive Life is not all milk and Honey People have to strive To be honest and Proud Not like some That mix with the wrong crowd They don't want to work To drop out they think is their due It's too easy these days To take that point of view When they can get a pension from the Government They don't have to earn their living Not a dollar or a cent Just wander around the City And the country too Getting bored and brainless With nothing left to do Full of self-pity, some without a home I think this may be called "What's in it for me" syndrome A contagious syndrome One that's easily spread What is the world coming to One that we all should dread This state of affairs is too hard to comprehend What will happen to us all at the end Perhaps the wrong button will be pressed All will be surprised That one tiny little button Will be the cause of our demise
