Occupation
Work rhymes with jerk.
Work also rhymes with berserk.
It is the strangest coincidence that a mind going berserk and acting like a jerk
are both products of work.
The average person's daily job is their prison away from home.
A place for them to serve so they can only hope to afford something of their own.
throw the dog a bone and leave them alone (or so we hope).
The stereotypical white picket fence American dream with a yard big enough to roam
isn't solid silver, it's only plated in chrome.
