The kite payback.

Every once  a while there is always something that lights us up, that cheers us or just gives us a smile. So i thought i'll do something to light things up a bit. 

Well, recently we had a kite making competition in our office. A colleague and I made a kite, we didn't win a prize for it but i really liked it. Every time i looked at it, I smiled. The kite was really something special for me. We were asked to keep the kites next to our work places. I did but after two weeks the kite was taken away. This made me angry yet i knew there was nothing i could do as i was just an employee. Being an employee is fine but being an employee in a corporate office is equal to being a slave. I'm sure most of the people working in a corporate environment would agree. Well in this anger i wrote down a poem. Hope you like it.

Got up at eight in the morning

the bed all moist after a hot summer night

the sweat didn't feel irritating

instead I felt nice and bright

I was on my bed

when my phone started ringing
"are you in office ?" a voice said

saw the watch it was nine fifteen

I replied " I'm at work,
came here an hour ago
this is not why we were put on earth
anyway we'll talk later, got to go".

kept the phone aside

decided to shut my eyes

didn't care that i just lied

but couldn't stop time with my lies

got up anyway

with eyes half shut

I start another day
cause I no longer give a fuck

went to the office

signed in the time

team leader gave me a notice

she thought being late was a crime

I said I'll be early

gave a good story for being late

she knew her words did nothing really

and knew what was in my fate

after she left it was nice

I plugged in my headphone

played my favorite track twice

as i signed in and logged on

videos, music and pictures galore

youtube, facebook, gmail

blogs, articles, news and more

+1, like, share, memes and epic fails

I take longer breaks

than the time i work

not cause i don't have what it takes

because i really don't give a fuck

corporate has no employee union

human resource works for the employer

why should the employer have all the fun

hence amount of my input equals the labour

as far as my work goes

I've never crossed a deadline

I'm not rude and have no foes

overall performance is pretty fine

I don't mind the low pay

nor the final output that comes from my art

not even the nine hour loss from my awesome day

It is just that i loved my kite with all my heart
