The wages of work is cash. |
The wages of cash is want more cash. |
The wages of want more cash is vicious
competition. |
The wages of vicious competition is –
the world we live in.
|
The work-cash-want circle is the
viciousest circle |
that ever turned men into fiends.
|
Earning a wage is a prison occupation
|
and a wage-earner is a sort of
gaol-bird.
|
Earning a salary is a prison overseer’s
job |
a gaoler instead of a gaol-bird.
|
Living on our income is strolling
grandly outside the prison |
in terror lest you have to go in. And
since the work-prison covers |
almost every scrap of the living earth,
you stroll up and down |
on a narrow beat, about the same as a
prisoner taking exercise.
|
This is called universal freedom.
|
D.H.Lawrence |
