Feet so heavy, let's stay grounded today Sheets so white and crisp where they lay These hands are so twisted as they move to fold Cracked and dry making the linen go crimson in their hold We messed up the work with our blood Go to reload the machine but alas, a flood! Open up the exit, pushing the filthy water out with a broom Sweat, blood, and bile pile up in the concrete room Goodness! Our feet are no longer grounded They are embedded into the floor as if they had been pounded I thought to leave soon before my life fades away The corporate world is hard to exit, and offers little pay
