Society

We depend on others.

We hope that others will help us, must somehow earn enough favor for them to pay us

Otherwise we could be left on the streets to die

And not even in peace as they’ll despise us for being homeless.

“You’re homeless? Just get a job!”

But we must rely on others to provide us those jobs

And even then they might not pay enough.

Money is one of those strange things;

The common adage is that one must “earn” a living

Even though no one asked to be here.

And some of us have to work harder than others.

There are those who excuse it by saying life’s not fair

But we could at least strive to make it so.
