Beating

Clickety-clack on a keyboard screen
Simultaneaously daydream
Work never stops; the boredom goes on
No matter what the beat goes on

Organize and Structurize
And pseudo-applicative-capturize
This will eat your days and nights
The beating beating beating

A switchup here, a melody there
Just enough to break despair
From the night till morning on
Sunrise to set the beat goes on

Maddening this lack of sleep
There's no time for counting sheep
Not a moment yours to keep
The beating beating beating

Just when you think your work's complete
Another pile on your desk heap
Goals, deadlines, and flow charts keep
The beating beating beating

Working hard are hard working?
Slacking not an option, workling
This way and that they push us on
Because they demand the beat go on

It's time I end this pattern tone
Every verse so monotone
The trance I need to end alone
The beating beating beating
stops
