What putrid pile of morality's manure
this tongue job of vile indifference shovels
that I hear it every day from the plastic yuppie puppet heads,
their words pour over me as an acid,
because in their eyes I see only a vulture from hell,
waiting for me to be wounded and gutted
so they can give my job to somebody else,
then toss me into some alley to be left for dead,
In the pathetic paradise of cardboard souls,
mindless leeches who only want to suck the life from your being,
there are no hearts, not a single pulse of conscience to be found.
The rage I subdue is so I will not end up another
exploding in anger over the world that only offers crumbs,
ever subjected to more of their flaming stings to my intelligence,
when some vain and shallow miscreant,
stops talking on his or her cell phone long enough
to utter, "have a nice day," as it drools like salvia from their mouths,
going down my throat as vomit,
while I suppress the visions of seeing their wretched self absorbed hides
squashed under the wheels of their luxury cars.
Simmering in survival's pressure cooker,
being steamed by broth of irony and injustice,
screaming reserved for the language of thought
over the insipid dichotomy of wealth and poverty in same realm,
where lives have no value,
but are always addressed with futile phrases of well wishes,
forgotten as the person drives off,
listening to a new age CD or stock market reports.

You picked the right subject for a rant. These superficial butts, see only profit for today, not what is best for employees and the long term for the company. They wallow in their self importance without concern for others. Great work as the truth drains "have a nice day" down throats that throw up in the weeds when they swollow it.

WOW!
That's the best I have ever heard from you! You sure let it all out!

All the best with this! Excellent!
