Corporate America

I look upon secular shores
And I, this drifting wreck of man,
Take note the ephemeral stores
That mark your mighty human plan...

...Who cogitate the weight of soul,
Then piece it up for due reward.
...Who hang the rabbit from the pole
That we, as mad hounds, all run toward.

Out of our rusticated themes,
To take part in some grand charade
That exists, but the stuff of dreams--
A line of lemmings on parade.

Where all those truths we learn from birth
Tally up to one bottom line,
Once every cent of measured worth
Is gone, and you're tossed to the brine.

To wash up on some distant beach,
A man without a plan, but free.
Till propaganda from the leech
Lures you back in, most willfully.
