How can you serve me
let me count your ways
if you are talented
I will question that
yet laud your diversity
I will query your intentions
as if part-time, consultant
interests speaks for someone who
wants a command performance.

But I thought I was clear
I wasn't going to sell myself short
never mind, even if its temporary
they want your heart, soul and mind.
they wanted someone free to give
not to question
to do their bidding
because they choose
the nature of the job?
somewhere between A and B
not that they were clear
or maybe they don't know
what they want!

While I pick your name for details
of what media you know
I pretend to show interest
my job is really to check
what you know
I am going to be vice president
and the questioned applicant
turned the table around
saying that's fine
you have that direction
keep to your climb
keep to the intimidation
the smaller man sees
through that sham.

He just wants a job
low down on the ladder
of responsability
but you never know
the man said
we may need a person
as diverse as you..
so maybe all this was
to see what markets
this creative man knows
then he is thrown away
so the next subject
almost like a lab animal
can be focused on
interrogated it feels
used for what he knows.

"if you are talented

This spoke volumes to me.

Very interesting write here, many are "thrown away" because of their "diversity."

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same

I think I'd like a job with a little less responsibility right now

I forgot what it was like to be able to say "I just work here"
