Like A Work Horse!

Working hard Beaten down Few rewards I start to frown Am I human? Or am I cattle? Some beast of burden Prone to prattle? My body aches My back, my knees I go to rest, they say “Get up, please” No reward Nor hope of pay Not on time Not on the day But workContinue reading “Like A Work Horse!”

Virtual Rage

My fingers are quick And as I type My blood pressure rises Along with my hype I cannot be quiet I will not cope When they’d rather give out blame When they should be giving hope I’m virtually raging Trolling trolls Typing the good fight No matter what rolls I roast and roil Fuming withContinue reading “Virtual Rage”
