Standing at the bus stop
Vying for a train spot
Waiting for the brain rot
Of our mindless 9 to 5
Cubicles like cages
Full of minuscule wages
Complete with food stamp health care
And gerbil-sipper water coolers
Creativity-stifling deadlines
Disinformation laden headlines
Time clocks, corporate flocks
Empty talks, penny stocks
Student loan slave labor
Hand-to-mouth existence
Day to day hangovers
Hard to fund resistance
High-paid prescription pushers
Advertise sedation medication
At depressing public transportation stations
While waiting for our mindless 9 to 5
When you stop feeling like you are being heard,
you stop feeling alive.
We want to know we have a voice,
and we want to express it freely.
