Tired of Waiting for Revolution

There will be no socialist revolution, at least not in my lifetime, that will liberate us all from tedium and enable us to spend our days writing and sharing poetry, music and blogs . And I am not Barack Obama or Ernest Hemingway, so I will not become rich being a political or literary celebrity. As a result, I have to put my nose to the grindstone and become a wage worker for the first time in years. 

If I have to be a mere messenger for the rest of my life, I will do so, because I am obliged to pull my own weight and earn my own money and stop playing around with complete poverty. Poverty sucks, there’s nothing romantic about it and I’m sick of it.

It’s time to develop a new work ethic, one that entails doing not just the things I enjoy, but the things I MUST DO, however boring, tedious or unpleasant. So, I’ll be back in the workforce to whatever extent I need to be and can handle.
