The Matrix

Notice of absence from Thepoetman1234
THE GOAT

Our 9-5's are a system 

a system for the men above us

to profitize off our precious hours

like scientists and mice

 

9-5's are like a like a trap 

enticing young folk with "big salaries"

but forgetting to include the

vacums of taxes and costs of living

 

9-5's are like a safe way out

a scaredy cats solution to a broken problem

why spend so much time 

on something tried and trusted

 

So I ask your mind for a chance

a chance to reconcile a choice

for a chance to save your precious hours

against the scientists that are coporate pigs.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I feel like a voice should heard on opinions discussing a office 9-5. In my opinion, you should do what you love and if thats a office 9-5 this is not the poem for you, however if you dont. Please consider this poem and give it consideration.
