Vocation

What is a society,
That denies you what you want,
That doesn't hurt another living thing,
And benefits a lot,

Though doesn't contribute to general survival,
(Of course, how many tasks actually do?),
Because the system won't pay you for it,
And you can't live unless they do?

It's very close to the one you find yourself in,
Whether the sun rises or sets on your flag,
And there are many people too tired of it,
To make the dog wag.

And it's alright,
There's always the next guy,
Who surely has more than enough time,
To make society answer, 'why?'.
