This is untitled. I wrote this when I got fired from my job, before I got with the union and got it back. There is no picket fence here Just cement slabs and lines yellow and white T'was here I learned to overcome fear Here ended my plight Friends I found here, all around me A passion grew for my simple job A mother and father not on my family tree Why is it this from me you seek to rob? The people I work for and with, my family they've become The people I get paid to serve, their names and whims I know Do you think I'm silly, incompetent, dumb? Did you think I wouldn't challenge you, that I'd passively submit and go? I don't deserve this, it's too high a price To pay for one mistake on a slate otherwise clean You're a fool to be so rash, maybe power is your vice How can you judge character you've never before seen? First you shunned me from the place that's home for me I patiently waited for my exile to cease But no reward was waiting for me, just an eviction notice. A banishment decree. Fuck you, don't fuck with me, I will not hold my peace That store is mine, you've got a fight I'm the one who gives a shit I'll have my job, it's only right I've been treated unjustly and I intend to pitch a fit
Thank you. It was. Worked here for a year and a half, never been written up for a single thing. I did make a very big mistake that lost the store some money, but I didn't think I deserved to lose my job over it. Union agreed and I got it back.
