pursuit
by Keith Landrum
we are the ones
working the shit jobs
fooled by friday’s
paycheck promises
the greedy
smile of death
on the face
of every clock
the redeeming
spark of life
in every day
off
we are more
than machines
more than
consumers
in someone’s
class war
we are a sea
of the tiniest tears
in the world
we are the devil
drunk on sunday
forgetting
to sin
and we feel
we deserve
better
