Meaningful Things

Meaningful Things

Perturbed by the ostentatious insinuations
I made for the undulating shoreline's treasures
to sit in such solace as the washing water assures
alone with the sea to think on the ramifications.

Why must I suffer through nonsensical work routines
and the ever cantankerous machine of office politics
energized by the aspirations of ass-kissing lunatics
whose boxed lives read like all the right magazines

And the irrational expectations of corporate lords
who sit high up in their indomitable skyscrapers
behind wide girthed desks and stacks of papers
their heads in the clouds and out of their gourds?

Why endure this overworn ideology one day more
subjugated to the obscure sexuality of this greed
rather than the pure simplicity of meeting need
and the refreshing serenity of life's eager shore

Where wave after wave of the meaningful things
and the ecstatic intangible rewards enrich
in ways that cannot be bought or sold but which
elevate and uplift beyond monetary enslavings?

No, life isn't just about a sensuous billfold
but honest pay for honest work more than sufficient
to provide for a wealth of life's deep enjoyment
and not the well integrated insanity of seeking gold.

So I eased back in my contemplative chair upon the shore
and broke free of the unrestrained corporate whore.
