Seems Long Overdue-Work In Progress
Many Many Jobs
If I was a kid,
I'd stack them like pogs
Never did I find a place
That I wanted to pursue
A legitimate company
Seemed long overdue
Searched and Searched
Found no more
Can't be late or get fired
Really? Who's keeping score?
Finally found Verizon
Worked on the phones
Thought it was a final destination
Melted my sanity to my bones
Felt I was sufficating
My world overwhelmed
So many feelings bottled up
So much, I no longer felt
Ice Princess
Needed a recess
From all this crap
It's like someone threw water on my face
Gave me a good old SMACK
Got sent home
Couldn't go back
How on earth
Did this country get so of track
We value money over health
Companies take our brains with such stealth
Gotta look at this and think
If I owned a company and saw employees this way
I could NEVER turn the other cheek
If they do,
What motivated me to find another
Nope, not again,
Got nothing to lose
Broke as hell, but I've still got honor
I'd rather go bankrupt than help them stand tall
So why am I here?
God has a reason
But to me its unclear
Everyone has a time
With their life ends
There's no more rhyme
There's no more friends
They were put here to do something,
Big or small
It's not like there's a wall that limits it
Got lets you know when you're prohibited
So until the numerous small things come up
Or I run into some ridiculous large hick-up
I'm going work to bring my dreams to life
They're no good in my head
If I die,
No one can dissect it and say
“I'll do this instead”
Makes sense to me to take the time
The moms and pops working hours overtime
On their own goods and shops but somehow are still behind
I'll promote you!
My shop too!
A mall filled of homemade moms and pops goods
Made in America, this must be understood
The saying “It takes money to make money”
Remember that when you order pancakes with a little honey
Nothing in this world is free
If you want your kid to get a good job out of school with a degree
Say goodbye to anything made overseas.
