Who Contributes What Done To Do



The emphasis to hear heard more these days,
Is who is it that contributes more...
To an economy.
An economy,
Primarily based upon capitalist values.
And those values prioritized to promote,
Dreams, wishes and good credit accepted.
Kept to keep the health of the marketplace,
Worth the price to advertise...
A variety of forgettable sameness.
Done to watch the rise and fall,
Of stocks and bonds exchanged to go on.
Between those who can afford to play,
The money game to win.
And if to lose?
The 'commoners' are invited and made,
To pay attention.
With invested interest and a doing of it,
As if alarmed their way of life is harmed.
From a trickle down to evaporate theory.
You know...
If it is not had to miss,
It should be and why isn't it?

Who contributes what done to do.
With a doing of it to others given the praise.
Has a lot to do with who obtains status.
And memberships at exclusive clubs.
Done to accomplish and it achieved,
By finding unique ways to become...
Noticeable and on one's own terms to do it!

'And...
What is it that you do?
Surprise me with your list of talents.'

'I don't kiss butt or bare my own,
To be rubbed or spanked to then be caressed.
I'm not quick to undress.
With a having my assets assessed.
How about you?'

'Well...
Some of us are more ambitious than others.'
