Those beautiful houses
I live beside.
Somebody please tell them
give them a clue
of you, Zamzam,
who shines like the morning light
like the scales
of a colorful fish,
while you were gone on Hajj
had many memories.
Your friend, Aisha died of love.
at long last [I realized]
both I and the camels
need love.

So if your goal is to enrich the Arringtons of the world while maybe, if you win the lottery, scooping some of the groundscore that they overlooked, then by all means, bust your ass while the bankers and speculators cheer you on.

Instead of that, I recommend that you do what you love because you love doing it. If that means long hours, fantastic. If that means leaving the office by 6pm every day for your underwater basket-weaving class, also fantastic.

As long as corporations are people and money is speech, then democracy is a farce. If you want to live like a person and not an ant, that has to change.
