Commute
I rise; it is before the dawn I go
and for protection a single prayer,
if it be Gods will, I’ll make it there
with all the other sheep in a row.
I will find this day like all the rest
the idol chats, the short coffee break,
the endless meetings and all they take.
A fight to strive to be my best.
I put up a front, just a show.
My pay for this is like a theft,
it feeds the bank with little left.
On Sunday a portion; to the plate I throw.
I’ve lived this way for so long
I’ve sold my life for a song.
