The Box

THE BOX

Born into a box of poverty and seclusion

So used to their status, they bear no delusions

Life is but a waiting game, each day is just the same

They have grown up in a culture where work is a pain

Never missing prosperity, they never had a taste

Not an ounce of integrity, such a human waste

Waiting for a monthly stipend not trying to pretend

It is the legacy handed down to them

Born into a box, four sides, a bottom and top

Not really worrying about things they never got

Children in a welfare state, just living to get by

Just switching to a cheap pine box once they whither away and die
