A Child Connected
He is a child of the Caribbean race
not ment to be confined in this small space
That place has a constricting atmosphere
and an icy chill lingers there
Can't sense any warmth though its extraordinarily bright
just an errie buzz from the neon lights
Persons dressed to the T and looking like a boss
yet it seems that the freedom in their step is lost
Productivity, is now the order of the day
work like a slave!
or you won't get paid
Eliciting his best with a bonus incentive
to max the matrix
be Preemtive, Inventive!
Too bad its a lie, a well thought out farce
designed to be the reins for this work horse
Who is ridden by money and perpetual greed
society's construct and his basic needs
So he trades his freedom for a jacket and tie
conforms to the rules and becomes that guy!
The one well dressed in the blazing sun
so prim that he's forgotten how to have fun
Lost in a maze of corporate deception
blind to the truth and his rejection
Of the things which really matter
that allowed him to be
A child
connected, proud
& free!
