Freedom?

Birds.

The symbol of freedom.
But are they really?
They spend all their spare
time looking for food.
They have no time for anything else.

And we in our jobs are tied down
in much the same way.
The more we are tied down by job
and responsibility, the happier the
powers to be are. We don't have time
for revolution if we're busy slaving away
at a 9 to 5 job just to pay off a mortgage.

Free as a bird.
