I’ve not gone off
the deep-end.
I haven’t been
abducted into a Mitzvah Tank.
The Watchtower
people haven’t gotten to me.
Nor have Radical right Republicans or televangelists.
What’s happened is a
strong dose of life.
Agency life.
Agency life.
Modern, vicious,
nasty, lying, deceiving, idea-stealing, credit-grabbing agency life.
Agency life in all
its harsh unfairness.
It didn’t happen to
me, but to a friend--a friend at another agency.
He told me about it.
And through it, I found
a bit of religion.
Common sense.
Fatherly advice.
The wisdom of the
Ages.
It doesn’t make the
wrong go away.
It doesn’t punish
the needle-dicks.
It just is.
As much as it sucks.
“I have seen
something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the
strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to
the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.” --Ecclesiastes
9:11
