RAT RACE

We have inherited a world
where jobs and work
are allocated to people.
 
Employers decide on the tasks
that need to be done and
carve up the activity.
 
It’s an out-dated economic model
where we are paid to do what we are told.
And where many people have no jobs.
 
With technology we can now
create work in different ways,
driven by what really matters.
 
We can link up with others
and collaborate on projects
that are important to us as individuals.
 
We can take responsibility
for creating and shaping all of our
futures and a better world.
 
We can share resources
rather than waiting, like rats,
for the food pellet to arrive.
