Upper Management

 A muddled mess of a man

brings himself back to life.


Society wants his misery

for the sake of artistry.


Industry would take him, 

make him militant. 

Brace him for a pocket full

-then pilfer his passion

through the subtle push of suffering.


Twisting him till he's braided

into industry and society,

there is no escape.


He is a strand of industrial elbow grease,

valued by no venture handed to him.


As he searches for himself,

fulfillment will scarce fall into industry.


A muddled mess of a man has no value,

he is disposable,

dragging himself around a dead end job.
