Look at you - you contemptible nothing,
puffing your chest as if
your vain imaginings were real
outside your mind.
You follow all the formulas
- hair just so,
- tie or shoulder pads just so
- suit colour just so,
ready to pass on
- nay, enforce!
the trite pomposities
- the superficial charades
- the gaslighting and duck shoving
- the lies and hypocrisies
of Society's Rules of
Normality and Governance.
Nary a thought
for the carnage from
your beak
in your cage ...
Only for ... what next
- what will help YOU,
a Cage Hen amongst cage hens,
cluck and peck your way up
the factory's pecking order,
as factory's owner looks and laughs ...
