Abomination Inside the Corporation
Work and Woe
The abomination inside the corporation stemmed from the reverse of humanization
Non appreciation for the situation
We watched our boss give convoluted explanation for the continual degradation of our value
We will conform to preform actions quieting the storm that is our expression
Beneath the warm hello, a swarm of hell no would need repression.
We realized we have sold our souls for riches told to be a small chunk above minimum wage
And no sage could help us understand that this work life isn't grand
It's the opposite of expand, to shrink
Stop your want to think, because this ship will sink if you don't continue to drink the capitalist cool aid
And you've been paid for this week
So stop trying to seek
Take another sip and don't realize your bleak existence is always tense and you never escape from the sense that there is a dense tumor growing in your city
And it's rough to say your a part of that nitty gritty
Pretty shitty
But how else will you survive?
Do you think alone you will thrive?
Can you harvest the food?
Will you grow the grain?
What if your not in the mood?
What will continue your train?
Can your brain think of a way to drink the suns energy and remove all the stink of this world? Has your life become unfurled now that you see the misery in our system?
We suckle at a teet that produces its milk on the broken feet of those whose lives used to be compete
Now it's a feat
If you can find anyone living in a discrete place
With wide open space and enough of nature's grace to provide food and shelter.
Where there's no swelter of bosses, time sheets,
Glosses and prime seats,
Business, oversights,
Cutbacks, office fights,
Workers right, led lights,
Pay cuts, work cuts,
Brand equality, or moral duality!
The totality of this reality is built on fallacy!
It's all a joke!
And I can't inhale another breath of smoke coming from my boss' lips
But what's the alternative, move my hips to another space?
Can I find a more peaceful place?
Or can we rearrange this system to fit our needs?
Can we all work with each others pleads?
Will the greed overthrow any desire to care?
Has money become something we hoard, not share?
Do I dare consider the hair splitter of an idea that I could make change?
Or is that just a strange thought that aught to not be present
When asking if the customer needs their receipt sent by email
As inside I hear my soul wail
To live another minute
I must become stale
