Slaves of the System

Excellent poem. I always say we are no different than slaves building pyramids. Only today we are called employers and employees. To Ria's comment: gee having a roof over ones head is an important material object, just as is some type of heating to keep one warm. Clothing and so on down the line. At least one of our weekly workdays is just to pay taxes. Those lucky to own a home, then pay more taxes. Pets? More fees. Vehicle to get to job? Best obey the law, or the fines will be a plenty and even if you have insurance and some one rearends you, there is no guarantees your totalled car will be replaced. Let me not even begin with the cost of taking children to doctors.

Anyone who places importance on material objects is a slave.
