Being Is A Noun

Doing is work.
Doing is a verb.
Being is a noun.
Being is not doing.
Being requires no effort.
Being requires no exertion.
Being requires nothing.
Being just is.
But it’s really not.
Because
Being is a noun
Not an is.

What’s interesting is
A human being----see?
This thing about being
Is a noun----has a lot of
Difficulty with just being.
A human being wants to be
A human doing.
Human doing is much easier
Even though doing is a verb
And requires efforts and
Exertion.

Better to sweat than to
Attempt merely to be.
Not being a verb is
Much more of a problem
Than doing, than working
An 80-hour week.
An 80-hour work week
Creates sweat and stress
But it also creates money.
Being a noun
Creates nothing.

Not doing anything,
Being a noun
Must be worthless.
Surely.​
