Bad Work Day

The dust of the day flies in my face.

Annoying and bitter dissatisfaction stinging my soul.

Fury raging in my gut from the barrage on my case.

A jumble of voices filling my cranium bowl.

 

Why must I let them take me down?

What makes them think they wear a crown?

 

My esteem has been drugged down into the depths.

Into a pit where not one can here me scream,

“I am a man, I am a man only doing my best.”

But it’s not good enough for their demented scene.

 

Why must I carry this continual load?

This ongoing torment, for my soul has been sold.

 

But there shall be a time, a time coming soon,

When away from these dictators I shall fly.

My soul set free from the constricting gloom.

Yes, I’ll let out a great and wonderful sigh.
