Western Materialism is killing us
Shut up Red Button, stop making a fuss.
Did I miss the dawning of the age of Aquarius?
I want to be riding on Ken Kesey's magic bus.
Instead of the one that takes me in to work.
The alternative to work is Job Seekers' Allowance of £73.10
or £57.90 a week if you are under 25 because under that age you don't count,
they want to keep you lean and mean and keen to get a 'mortgage'
but on that money you would need to go foraging in the bins behind Tesco because you couldn't afford
a Steak & Shake or a Ben & Jerry's or a Frankie & Benny's or a TGI Fridays
or any other of these double act rip off merchants but
Jesus do you have to seek to avoid a sanction but unlike the Bible,
this Scripture from the Government states

I was one of Thatcher's YOPS
I wish I had been a YOB
£25.00 a week in a brown envelope on a Friday
to say that you had earned £5.00 a day and five pounds then couldn't get you more than five pounds now.

I have been a cleaner, a bin man, a gardener, a youth worker and a teacher but now I am a carer!
A carer gets £62.10 a week but for that money I couldn't care less BUT at least you do not have to prove that you are caring.
This is free tax payers' money.
It allows the government and them to feel as if they do care in this helter skelter of acquisition and free market capitalism.
Sheesh, this shit wasn't working in the 1950s, what do you think the 1960s was all about?
It stops me looking for non existent, soul destroying jobs.
Have you ever tried looking for work in the Aberystwyth area?
"That's Wales lurve, yes West Wales, the furthest you can go!"
Half a page in the Cambrian News, Dental Receptionist or Relief Milker or of course you could go and mix concrete.
Professional banger of heads against brick walls.
"At your age wuss, you've actually missed the boat, you moaning old goat."
"Get a job or I'll punch you in the throat"
"Pay your tax or you will get anthrax."
Careers Advisor said
"You could become a performance poet, a hobo from Hoboken?"
I might just take her up on it
unless I get called a philanthropist
in which case I will just have to give up because
once you have been labelled one of them
you've had it I'm afraid
because you have failed
in your role as a man
of being
hunter
gatherer
provider.
