Unpaid Cashier

The Sheep line up to be Walmart counted Empty thoughts sleep walking in pyjamas Without smiles Without voices Without community There to stare at how to work another register The One that doesn't care about your day The One the Waltons ousted John Boy to replace His minimum wage and demeanour an outrage Musk and Bezos need more Smarties just like YOU, to feed empty space So, You, Sleep Walker, will pay Buy your daily Bread Care not that the oven can slam shut Care for Nothing Just as long as it costs THEM next to nothing Be silent, say nothing Be Nothing Don't smile Don't talk Don't live Be the unpaid cashier .......And bring your own pillowcases!
