Pat
you are not alone
I am that kid in the crowd
Why do people pretend
that everything is fine.
Am I the only one who sees
the emperor has no clothes?*
Punch the clock, drink a beer,
yet the truth is always near.
How much longer can we play
this game, before we see
it’s not the same. Indeed,
times have changed.
The time of truth-telling
is upon us.
