Very interesting!!!!!
This is very intersting and I do see yuppie written all over this. I thought they went out of style though, just like the hippies.
I thouroughly enjoyed the thought that went into this and it sounded like lyrics to me. Great take on society.
Best wishes to you and welcome to All Poetry.
