Corporate Emo Poetry

There comes a time in every man’s life
When he grows tired of all the strife
But soldiers on, despite the pain
To keep the paychecks flowing like rain

The mental fog occludes the will
And quenches man’s desire to fill
His mind with passionate joys of love
With corporate idiocy from above

But one day, friend, he will be free
Retirement ends the misery
Only to find there’s no more drive
He sits resolutely;
American Idol’s on at five.
