Pride (of the Pencil Pushing Prophet)

There! I finally did what they dared me to
Half of me is still shaking in utter disbelief
And the other half is in some sorry state of denial
Things like this never bring relief.

Walked right into his office and said-
And i didnt even bother to knock-
Said, "Listen up, Mr. King Boss Master,
No more of this elitist nonsense;
Things are going to change, buddy!"

At this point, the weasel was shifting uneasily,
Working out his fast decreasing options,
King Boss Master was facing an uprising
Well beyond what company policy had outlined;
"After today," I continued, lost in a momentary high,
"Relations between us are going to improve,
Despite what your pay check says, guy!"

And sadly, that was it; i walked out of there
Thinking i had struck a blow for the little man.

Actually, i later reflected, no point was made,
Little sense flowed out of my lips into his head;
Left there in a haste to start scanning the classifieds.

Karl Marx had the pencil pusher in mind when he wrote about the poor man one day waking up to realise he has suffered enough. Rise up and face the "chap" and declare in the words of the pencil pusher

"Things are going to change, buddy!"
