GOOD SOLDIER (REVISED)


focus on the door

at the end of the hallway

start walking

follow most rules

forget some of them

question others when alone

get head slaps

bruised knuckles 

deep red voices 

vibrating eardrums 

warnings you’ll be fired 

if you fail to park 

in the proper place

>

rarely get compliments

>

decide if the door is worth opening

after years of repetitive motions

trying to please others

without losing yourself 

and worrying about notes in your file

>

if you’re promoted,

don’t be that person

who screams/punches/kneecaps

be the mentor 

only a few people

took the time to be with you

when it’s time for new recruits 

to take the employee walk

wherever it may lead
