Office Politics

Office Politics

Simper, debase, deny, debase and motivate yourself
And if you still retain your soul then leave it with your keys on the lockers second shelf.

Welcome to where we come to escape the land called poor, I'd cause havoc,  but mama broke her foot when she propped open that shut door.
I must lower my eyes and move inconspicuously, so higher eyes don't see when human is what i want to be.
To smile only when its worth their while,
and not tell some old bastard he's turned senile when he comments on my 'urban' style, I'm almost glad he's sterile.

I'm on my way to higher heights, so far up that the sun will start to lose its light, but it's more likely that I'll lose this fight, my breathing s heavy, my chest is tight. They tell me ladders are for climbing here
I'm near the bottom rung and there's more than one bladder emptying here
The steady trickle of tears may be too big a slight for my vanity
It may conflict with your morality but I won't be happy until I tested the top of the ladders mortality
and that stream pulses with peaking blood and fear. They say money should reflect my image and hide my inner madness until I'm dead and gone like Lear, ignoring my knee-jerk cry of 'travesty' at having to call someone majesty, to let them take my reins and give them mastery.

Not throwing stones and sticks but words instead is messing with my head, and why is it so wrong to make eye contact, while over emphasising 'dead'. Well... This is my way, so office fucking politics can go ahead and suck on monkey dicks
