Satire

Worth
Your time, what is it worth? The radio is turned on first thing in the morning, beginning the circuit of the same pop-songs played in the taunting identical order day after day. In between crude beats and the crooning about love and happiness at 9am there is the news report. A woman was sexually assaulted in a taxi cab. A cop was killed on duty, but his name is not being released. Make sure you check out Sealy for your mattress needs. Back to the music, you know the artists by name now. You have the lyrics memorized. They play behind your thoughts as you try and bury yourself in your work. They become the soundtrack to your life 40 hours a week.
