Cyclops
To make more, have more, be more
Soon both worked and for a time got more
For a while, till others learned
And prices climbed and value dropped
And children came; still both worked
For what one could earn before
It now took two to make
And children grew up with school, TV and no parents
And of the two TV had the greater influence
For it purported to tell life the way it is
And caused life to be created in its image
An image reflecting unrestrained adolescent longings
Tied closely to the theme it began with
To make more, have more, be more…
