Underworked
Proverbs 26:16 New English Translation (NET Bible)
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own opinion
than seven people who respond with good sense.
Satire
Underworked and overpaid what a way to travel.
Belly-aching the main course of every meal you plan.
Wanting always more because you are deserving
to get the best of all things for you are the “man”.
Around the middle of your circle all things should be turning
to your satisfaction in your chosen life.
The universe and its power should bow down in your presence
for all things are for you and never out of sight.
You are so important that every ear should listen
to whatever shows up in your idle mind.
The world should proclaim it and you should be the hero.
All the folks should thank you for being the leader of the blind.
Jan Wienen
