Grim Reality
                      by Eric L. Giese
My muscles are strained
and my ego is bruised.
In this large corporation
I feel so abused.
While my stress level runs high
my patience runs low.
If I ask for a raise
the management scoffs "no".
Is this a disease?
Does it have a name?
Why of course you damn fool...
it's life in the fast lane!!
