The Boiler Room

The Boiler Room



    In the Boiler Room, phones ringing,
        monitors tele-typing, secretaries screaming,
            everyone's moving, moving, moving way too fast!
                The pressure is intense, I'm starting to sweat!
                                   
                        I suddenly collapse!!!

    Waking up to horns honking and sirens blaring!
        Strapped to a gurney in the back of a medic van,
            I.V. in my hand, EMT's moving, moving, moving too fast!
                The pressure is intense, it won't relent,
                                           
                         I feel trapped!!!

    The van doors open... I am wheeled out...
        And that's the last thing I remember until now...
            March 14th 1997, that was then, April 4th 2016, this is now!
                Damn it's been almost 20 years...

                          I AM saved!!!
