Bossed Around

“The Home Despot and the Office Despot?” “That's depot.”
“See? I'm getting bossed around no matter where I go?”

Though directions from others never stop my head swelling,
At least this time someone I know did the telling.
When we're told to swim forth, fast as we can, through a sea
Of rigged games and chintzy prizes that they call “economies,”
Because you have to be a productive member of society,
I think we all know, but don't admit to what that means–
That someone told us it's best to trade everything for money
and we believed

and we can't trace the call. Who to blame, besides me?
