living on easy street

the young,
uncalloused and lazy,
not all of course,
but many,
are waiting. you see them
on the street
going nowhere.
they are resting
in their parents
homes. staying
in schools until they hit 40
years old.
they don't really want
to join this world
or accomplish anything
of value.
work is below them.
punching the clock for wages,
please. get real.
they're waiting
for the old to die,
for the politicians to help
them,
for the trust fund
to kick in,
they're waiting
for the inheritance.
they're
living on easy street until
the end.
