SIDESTEP RITUALS
From childhood we are drawn into many games,
secret rituals given fancy names,
compete in tasks or take a dare,
to show we're willing and really care.
Deeper and deeper we're drawn into this game,
as we climb the corporate ladder for higher gain,
we follow the pattern without further thought,
forgetting the warnings our forefathers taught.
Soon we find we're shackled with chains,
as silence accompanies our daily gains,
we're trapped with crimes and deceit in disguise,
as the cost of emotional blackmail is on the rise.
No prospect of freedom except at a cost,
our life and all we have is lost,
there is no peace of mind in this life,
find another profession that avoids this strife.
