Release

why take two steps
when one will do
depends on the cost
of the efficiency
streamlining humans
create mechanical beings
who take emotions home
and bathe their wives
in frustration and anger
which take a mental toll
when custom disallows
ventilation
result is bottled rage
where mister marionette
played on both sides
candle burns his middle
in service bondage service
to bondage service bondage
a treadmill to nowhere fast
when all it would take
is appreciation of interest...
obscure statistics flow
brews poured
world forgotten
kickoff is six hours
of distance focused reality
where invaders leave men
alone; no thought play
beer flows, flows, flows
and the boys can be boys
until the final whistle...
princess charming barks
life in honeydew world
signals return to the grind
grind, work, grind, work
dump thought at the door
efficiency of streamlining
human robot costs
borne of the model
of children aspiring toward
dronedom...
push envelopes
for treadmill jobs
when creativity pends
on interest (doesn't anyone
care enuf to recognize
life is too short for
trivial pursuit) when
nothing ever changes
until you decide
to make the changes
instead of handing off
responsibility
to another drone.
