“Employment-At-Will State”

This is what
I am
In corporate
America
A match
Ready to be
Lit
And
Discarded
Without notice
Without
Warning
Terminated
I worked
Everyday
Every night
Without complaint
They called
I came
Ready to work
I did
My job
Above and beyond
I did it
Better than
They would have expected
Close to perfection
With a smile
On my face
They could not
Sully my success
The quality
The effort
The pride
I took
In everything
I did
I was noticed
By my customers
By my coworkers
I had their respect
And
I did not
Need
Their pat
On my back
I did it
Because
I understood
My task
I mutitasked
Made decisions
I was great
At my job
I earned
Every bit of
My check
What else
Did they want
On time
Groomed
With a smile
Working
Not sleeping
With charm
But
When I refused
To do
That thing
That some
People do
Be a
Butt kisser
Suck up
Snitch
That was
Not me
Not in
The description
They gave me
Not something
I signed
In a contract
So I guess that’s
Why my career
Was cut short
Because I did not
Bow down
To the tyranny
The corruption
The click
In the office
The one’s
Doing
The most
MESS
