everyone worked hard
for everything that they have
and they'll let you know
it wasn't that they
had anything handed to
them: they sacrificed
and you should too, if
you would just work hard enough
why won't you do that?
torrents of advice
things you need to stop doing:
having takeaways
drinking your coffee
eating smashed avocado
on toast, for your brunch
we never had those things
we had house prices at three
times annual wage
not twenty-six, sure
but not avocados you
just expect it all
we sat on the floor
for years, and yet you expect
chairs as your birthright
and okay houses
were much cheaper then than now
but what do you think
we meant when we said
sacrifice? we meant yours, for
us, for our houses
