And here we are again
full circle.
Breakdown,
rebuild
each time with greater intent.
Traced over and emphasized.
A reorganization,
a reexamination
of this cesspool
of this tainted species
of this file cabinet lifestyle.
colorless,
thoughtless,
genderless slaves
whipped by a time clock
maimed by a cubicle
stripped of their identity
by a managerial house slave;
a lapdog to the dollar.
My friend,
you are still one of us!
You are still a cog in a deteriorating
lifestyle obsession gone awry.
We are the Egyptians.
We are the Romans.
We are the Aztecs.
We will become the nothingness that ensues.
We will fade into obscurity
scrutinized for our lack of life,
our lack of meaning.
Tomorrow morning,
the workforce drowning in their efficiency
will wake up to their deaths.
But who will write their obituaries?

I really like how you bring something more modern like the metaphor of being maimed by a cubicle and tied it into a piece of history as you did by mentioning the Aztecs. Again you provide tons of metaphors which helps to display this fantastic imagery. I’m beginning to think metaphors and relations are your strongholds. You really do have a terrific talent.
