Entitled Couch Potato
We live in a world where we settle for mediocrity
Yet get frustrated when we get stuck in a life of anonymity
We want to be recognized for doing nothing at all
Earn millions of dollars for watching others play ball
Our inert talents are wasted while imitating potatoes on a couch
Hoping someones drops before us a giant fotune on a pouch
Our frustrations start to mount when our gardens bear no fruit
We blame everyone else though there is nothing to dispute
It’s said that we reap what we sow, that saying’s got validity
So if we have nothing to show in our lives it’s due to our stupidity

You know, I so feel this too. I have an assignment that I give my students asking about their goals. All of them are in remedial classes because they fooled around and didn’t learn (I’m not talking about people who might have legitimate reasons) but every one of them wants to be a millionaire doctor or lawyer–ahem, two careers that everybody knows are amazingly competitive to get into schools and programs, and require an extreme work ethic.
Yeah, because my wishes will come true, but I don’t have to do anything on my part in order to earn it.
