Corporate Emo Poetry Monday (Potted Plant Edition)

Into the deep belly of the Beast I ride
I furtively gird myself on the inside
Foreknowledge that at least I tried
As silently ever onward I glide

Between what seems one world and the next
I struggle and fight, but am only vexed
Indiscriminately from me they wrest
Until I emptily concede defeat in my chest

Why must everything be dreary
Performing mundane tasks makes weary
The strongest soul’s desire to yearn
Or even care about the will to learn
And then you sit, and talk to a fern
And next thing ya know, it’s all like
“Yo, izzit Friday yet? Uh. This sucks.”

Don’t be a sheeple.

Cateye Commuter CC-COM10W Review

 

If you’re like me, and you like to ride your bikeĀ to places, then you probably have some sort of device on your bike that lets you track miles, speed, time, and so forth.

Corporate Emo Poetry Monday (Salvation Edition)

Stumbling, grumbling, the groggy-eyed rush
Try not to significantly fill your mind with mush
Rushing to accomplish something you can’t understand
Knowing that whatever thoughts you have will just be banned

Working at the mercy of someone who’s underhanded

When trying to explain to them the error of their ways
It only leaves your spirit crushed and lamenting for days

Forgetting what’s behind, I press on towards the goal
Remembering I’m working for what’s bigger than the whole
Releasing every thought that threatens to be desperation
I close my eyes and visualize the one who’s my salvation
