The Broken Relationship

I have given you my heart
I have poured out my soul and done my part
 
When you say jump I say how high
I  gave you my body to use until it has turned black and blue like a stormy sky

Whatever you ask of me you know with a yes I will always reply
You have picked my brain and used my resources  knowing  that on me you can rely

You have used me and abused me like I was a prostitute and paid me with your money
Even  a good pimp knows that he can get more out of his girls if he treats them as sweet as honey

But you never are concerned about if I like it or not all you think about is making a profit
When will you ever care if any of this can be to our mutual  pleasure and benefit
 
You use to care about my opinion and value what I had to say
Now you act like you could  care less if  you and I have a relationship at the end of the day

Your not in this for a full time commitment any more that is a thing of the past
I have invested my self  into this relationship with the hopes that it would give me a future and last

Now what your looking for is a part-time commitment with no strings attached
What I want is a little appreciation from you with some insurance and my efforts being matched

The big question here is who are you and who am I ?
I’m convinced that in regard to all of this you will most surely be the one to deny

You are the employer that I get up and go to work for every day
 I am the American worker who is slowly being consumed by a world full of greed with less pay
 
You tell me that it is all about my willingness to be changed
But there is only so much a person can tolerate being rearranged

Put yourself  in my place and make all of  these changes is that a goal that is within your reach?
But here is something you can’t take away from me my spirit and the freedom of  speech

Wake up world lets make changes that can benefit the worker and the employer
With the relationship we have now everyone is needing the services of a lawyer

Romans 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.  Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.  If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Thank You God Bless BikemanRJ

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
