[hometext] => A poem about spending your life working for a major corporation.
[bodytext] => Just forget about your dream, my son.
It’s technically been done, And happiness is not as important As wealth or getting some. There’s nothing base or ignoble In being someone’s grunt. Besides, you get vacation time. Isn’t that what you want? He’ll pay you too. He’ll pay you well, Some fifty grand a year. And all you have to do for him Is file, fax, and fear. And if you choose to have a smoke Or hit the links with him, Then cancer or a stunning stroke Will find you on a whim. But that’s okay, I promise you. Your life’s not worth a damn When your voice is mute, your brain is mush And you’re a blind yes-man. So please do us a favor And forget about your dream. Glory and global respect Are not all that they seem. You’re better off right where you are And this I promise you. For if you left, there’d be no one To do all I tell them too.
