Job Owners

They are all the same, they all.

Sweat for hire

Work day and night

Some nicer than some

Some meaner, some better

They are all the same, they all.

Requiring perfection though not perfect themselves

Praising you, paying you, scorning you.

Your day ends with a pretense smile

Tomorrow’s time counts before a line

Or else salary drawn from the well half filled

One out of many goes all out for you,

Loving you and making you feel at home

Not too long you remember,

They are all the same, they all.

You are not happy, you live in fear

You go against your principles

All for naught

Never enough. You come short

Always demanding, reminding you of your weaknesses

They are all the same, they all.

A light of escape, a sign of relief

This one will be different, you say

Better than the place where you once signed

Not a moment long, it dawns on you

They are all the same, they all.
