Tip tap clacking of the mouse and the key
Silence hangs while the mind kicks in,
Vacant stares over coffee and wordless babble,
Everyone speaks but no one listens.
We stare at the boxes and the walls,
Stretch half an hour, resume.
Would change and chance make you happy?
We all think change is good,
told by someone that thinks they own us
we will continue to curse and struggle all day
then those management b******ds take away our bonus.
I suppose when the chips are down,
one wonders why we bother, why even try?
then lest we forget the only alternative
is to give up, lose and die.
So then maybe the only thing left
is to take a chance, perhaps to see what lies beyond
Perhaps we’ll discover ourselves proper
and a brighter day will have dawned…
