The Way Things Are

Today isn't anything special,
and neither was yesterday.

There isn't much I can fit into my six
free waking hours, after eating and getting ready
for the next day of work.

I've always wondered how people do it,
do they really do it, is it an illusion.
Was it decision or luck or lack
that led each person to his daily routine.

We don't like to think of lack,
that some are born better off than others.
It's Un-American.

Today was nothing special,
nor will tomorrow be
the way things are going
