Burned out Tears and blood is all life brought To a career never meant to bloom, Shredded by the thorns of roses sought, Lost to those whom The other end twould kiss. Loyal years of service remembered not. Robbed of all dignity for naught.
Unemployed, alone, bewildered, security lost, All employment seems forwarth. Hate, jealousy and fear abound. Even as years go by The spirit, enthusiasm Burned out still Devastation all but lives. Time, it's said to be the cure of all, But what does one do when Fate has brought you Once again to the doorway Of another lousy job, One simply doesn't want, In an office full of bores, Where everybody, from the secretaries to the chairman of the board, Is complacent to be bought and sold, And knowingly abused, Like common whores.
Written by Shirl A. Steward June, 1983.
