Shove me down
Slam my skull into the barren sand
Drown me out
Make me doubt the existence of a heart
Every waking moment
the cortisol warps the floor underneath
Were we all born into weak backs and scoliosis chairs?
Did our teachers instruct us to put others down to get ahead?
Did God seek to expedite the customer deliverables?
As I commute home to clean the self-harm scizzors
I wonder if my job is on the chopping block next
Sometimes I scream the words of my forgotten self
but yet the meaning never seems to get through
I do my damndest to dissociate from everything
because I need to stay aligned with the performance ratings
Why are we here?
In a free market goods are bought and sold at prices dictated by the consumer
Why are we here?
A global economy promotes shared prosperity for the world
Why are we here?
California is the 4th largest economy in the world
Why am I here?
Every day I wilfully participate in the free economic system and I’m glad to do my part
