As garbage trucks backed down the city streets, and traffic off the highway lulled me back to sleep.
The smell of life greets me at my window sill.
The people below are only business, there are no smiles or friendly handshakes, just business.
These streets echo with their blood,
for all the sacrifices made as the Empire keeps moving forward.
All the business men hanging from lamp posts, their shadows fall across my face.
I hate the corporate america.
With it's corporate fake smile and it's corporate fake combover.
I just wanted to sleep. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 6 [informant] => deadreckoning1983 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

Ah I know what you mean too much business not enough love n enjoyment of life. Although business is important to keep this Empire moving forward its also important to stop and have fun be happy and forget about business for awhile not just business but all work that most everybody does for their entire lives. It's kind of depressing really that most of our life is spend at work and less time with loved ones n being happy.

This is an amazing write. I can see why The Moth liked it. You are a mature writer.
