Robert Verdon, #32, And Work Shall Make You Free


daydreaming, burning till dawn
get off your arse and get a job
you lazy bugger,
don’t revolutionise your own
instrument of production —
be like Jim and Jemima
who produce by carrying
something work-related around
all day, always heading somewhere,
never at their desks,

busy busy busy
talking talking talking

they’re so lazy
the devil makes work for idle hands
we don’t need due process for these people
send ’em back where they came from
they won’t work

burning oil, blackmailing
someone else to do their
actual unproductive jobs,
which add entropy to the gross global product,
totting up their salary and complaining that
their taxes are being wasted on the unemployed,
upon whom all sights train —
imperious as generals
obedient as corporals
lazy enough to swallow anything.
