Poem
Gotta go down to the plantation today, punch the clock and start the cubicle time labor Work on whatever the boss say, papers piling up from yesterday Contact new clients to see what is their desired target demographic pitch Management meeting went off without a hitch, though the other boss says he don’t like how I’m not being efficiently used Seems like my lady boss is starting to fill his corporate shoes But that’s just the plantation going-ons of a normal slave day My boss can be really nice and laid back, if you don’t cause her to get snippy return calls from the upper levels halls Hitting the half-time break with a massive headache from the monitor screen LED screaming at me A computer blip of anarchy ... just another underground rebel like me Everything wanna be free, but my lot, right now, is to be chained to a worn swivel seat Gotta push thru it though, boss ain’t gonna like no pushing the papers slow, or no letting the phone ring too long without answering with the usual company spiel drone What’s the profit in it all for me, seeing I got no stake in the company Nothing to gain ... prospects for the future looks like more of the same Only have the watered down paycheck, which lasts just long enough to calm the creditors this week Forcing me to come back for another day grind with dreams of freedom wasting away in my mind Guess I’m too lazy to change my situation, so some would say, I’m really just fine with being a company slave It sure seems that way
