after a long day at work.

A Poem by nigrum homonculus
"

eh, tried to mess with the format a bit in this one. not much to say other than that.

"

The boss in a suit

Standing straight with no spine

A dick replaced his head

Because he permitted it.

The fist is damn clenching

This prick needs a one bang

needs to sleep on the floor

the hard carpet will soften him up.

 

But that’s not the way to deal with things


Got other remedies in mind.

Go home, zone out 

                  zone out 

                     zone out 

                        zone out


That’s what it’s all about.

Bang on some sade

And erykah badu

Sink into the armchair

And completely drift away.


Or personify the anger


With a little machine head

Head bang to hospital

With the sounds of meshuggah


Or enjoy both worlds

with animals as leaders.

Or hell…find new ones

Search and get lost....

Good poem about a frustating corporate work enviornment. Love the Sade reference. My wife was a SADE fanatic.

thanks for that. sade ah....she is an amazing woman.
there is alot of integrity to this poem, i choose not to publish, the more provokotive, personal or controversial poems that i write, but i do write them every now and again - depending on the extent of the gripe! I admire you for this reason; writing in a creative, diarised form..you seem to explore so many facets of you via your writing, again, v, commendable.
