WORKING FOR THE MAN
I cannot understand
Why working for the man
Requires a loss of soul
Thoughtless reprimand
Freedom brings a price
Financial sacrifice
Step out on a limb
Nerves of steel and ice
Bureaucracy absurd
Mindlessness preferred
No room for human will
Walk blindly with the herd
As I learn to stand alone
Refuse to be a drone
I place my faith in God
His strength, I call my own
Humble man I’m meant to be
Obedience, the key
Focus on the truth
Eternal destiny
