From Leaves of Grass

By Walt Whitman

Here and there with dimes on the eyes walking,
To feed the greed of the belly the brains liberally spooning,
Tickets buying or taking or selling, but in to the feast never once going;
Many swearing and ploughing and thrashing, and then the chaff for payment receiving,
A few idly owing, and they the wheat continually claiming.
