PRO-duce for hire…

did you get a say
before you were wisped away
or were you conscripted
and is it all everything that they depicted
did you feel honored and grateful
and thus unconditionally loyal
for once bought and paid for
you should stay that way as you toil
would you have signed
indelibly on the dotted line
had you a better choice
and with leverages applied
did they smile when they lied
and did you initially rejoice
who coughed up your down payment
while you sat idle
were you placed on lay-a-way plan
now who owns your title
and keeps your certifications
long after you’re canned
is your house your own
your car
your food
your phone
or are they just leased
as you frolic in their playground
jumping through hoops
being the only game in town
are you called upon
or just on call 24/7
are these steps in your stairway to heaven
they only want perfection
they are not too keen about balance
they have software tools for detection
of all that’s inefficient
everything is eliminated that’s deficient
toward the bottom line
the tyranny is in the adherence
the method is through your obedience
have you been focus grouped
are you ready to peddle all of their poop
can you bring to market a god given produce
or is the real money all in the juice
are you part of the overall production
a pawn manipulated though seduction
do you contribute
or distribute
