An Engineers Prayer You go to work You stay all day But will they take Your job away It's time again For the corporate Weasel's To rearrange The drawing easel They switch and mix And move around All your friends Right out of town They make you do The job's you hate You have to think What is your fate When will this madness Ever stop They wouldn't do this To your pop! I think we should All get together And stop at home To put on our leather We'll ride at once To make a stand And boy we'd make A merry band I'd like to see The weasel's crumble When we'd pull up With all that rumble You see it's not The job you do But what's inside That matters too Boardman |

Hi! You got me on the week after my review at work. All I can say is RIGHT! The 'big wigs' don't know or care what we do..I'd like to see them send a fax, make a copy or fold and mail 500 copies of a letter!!! I say let's revolt! (Liked your poem by the way!) |

Boardman...your pretty well captured the corporate mentality here. When corporations start caring more about profits than people, you get this kind of disenfranchisement. Well said. Hardrock |

OK, being at the ripe old age of 15, all I can say is this poem makes me more and more afraid jumping into the job scene LOL. You make a good point, so you get my vote  |

I sure do agree with you. The situation is getting worse all the time, the lack of caring about poeple's lives. We should all unite! |

I agree whole-heartedly! Very well put! I have been driven mad by such people. (Now I'm freelance  )Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

I would just like to thank all of you for your wonderful replies. It's people like you that make this world a better place to live! And it sure is nice to see all the great poems that have poped up here at Passion's. I haven't had the chance to browse around here much lately. I appolagize for my delayed reply. Everybody, keep up the fabulous work! Boardman |
