This Deadend Job Poetry

This Deadend Job

(This is a work of make-believe only, like all other poems. It is not real or related to myself.)

This deadend job of mine

Is toiling ahead in the pursuit of despair

Self casting into storm holes of guilt and shame

No shades of questions to contemplate

Or room to argue for an “okay”

Or truth to obey by papered black and whites

Sent snapshots probably for the display, oh hey!

The high nose pride chauvinistic boss

The colleagues selfish to consider a foot

The welfare system is a show of face

Procedures a mess of organized games

Employees hammered on carded disgrace

Deadend, deadend

Dead to the end and chained to the desk

Can’t attain potential figure growing sales

Lose the mark of your future so quickly down ladder

Soul-blind and salary baited one continues

When all happiness does and cries Gawd, I’m so confused!
