They would tell you that no job is small
do the best in whatever you have

What matters is that you are working
not where or for whom or for how much cash.

The next day when you are all happy and peaceful about your work
they suddenly make drastic amends and ask you about your work
how much are you making ? what are the perks?

Pay packets, high position get to you
and you lose the newly acquired zeal
you are only mortal , what else did you expect?
this any job-no small job talk was just a test.

Why are you still sitting around ? go find a job
and a good one too , or else it's as good as nothing..
they are only concerned about your welfare
as to how will you fare when you don't get your due share.

Don't get confused Sire there is nothing wrong
in being a lowly paid happy man
as long as it is someone else.

The Garbage Disposal System

The new garbage disposal system's here
one of these days you'll be thrown away.

It's been long since you were lying here
eventually even garbage needs some fresh air.

A couple of fingers to pick up the torn packet
a couple of hooligans to make some racket.

A foolish little boy who plays with muck
a rag picker quite down on his luck.

We need to have them right here
cause a new System is going to be there.

You can't be garbage and lie not still
at least if you don't , have no foul smell.

There are some genteel folks who would have you taken away
cause you are too close to their homes.

You'll be burnt you'll be hacked and deported in pieces
to the places of those who need you back.

Your face isn't fresh anymore you ain't smiling
the new system's here.

You are looking so scared as if they'll take some pity
no, The new system's here.

Didn't find your calling , so became a thing
which lies down here and there.

Till the time came and they all shunted you out
in the rain, the blistering sun and the cold and cutting air.

Don't worry now son, the times have changed
we have a new system here.

There's a new garbage disposal system
going to be set up here
you'll be the first one to be
taken down those marble stairs.
