David Smith Poet Burlesque

I have found my purpose in life

I am not the only one,
Which gives me comfort,
And I am so glad I have a purpose in life,
And then more I give to that purpose,
The more sure I am it is so.

I find more people with the same purpose
Every day,
Off course we seldom have time to stop for a cup of tea,
As carrying out our designated purpose in life,
Comes with risk,
If we slow down,
And end up with a backlog of other peoples work,
Or if the cat is let out of the bag,
About our seemingly sole purpose in life.

Probably our own fault for not hiding our talent,
For being conned into doing other peoples work,
And being born with good eyesight,
Plenty of foresight,
And the need to show off our abilities ,
Instead of hiding them under a bush,
When the majority are getting paid for sitting pretty,
Using their talents to give us a purpose in life.

I just wish those in charge of our taxes,
Had more oversight on who wins the lolly scramble,
As a dollar for every hour spent doing other peoples 
  jobs for them would be appreciated.
But of course they too are staying true to their purpose in life.

It is so nice to have a purpose in life,
I cant recommend it enough,
If you have keen sense of irony,
As doing others work for them,
Increases life expectancy by decades,
So nice to have found my purpose in life.
