Furnace boy

CuldeSac
The stains your tears paint betray your face
To those who send you down narrow tunnels
The lewd foremen who will fire you tomorrow
That do not prefer the smell of breath,
'las, by honour, duty and good grace you go: 
		"はい!"
Bolting for a tunnel to go in and fluster
The images of a love that you left in the mountains
In their eyes you now look soft-
For the rule of the camp clearly states the following:
"Your accountability is to your time stamp"
(So best give all that you can muster)
Yet you build pillars of ethics, eternal stone of marvel
You build them up from a depth of spirit, Furnaceboy
To get fired tomorrow
To be left yesterday
Though you thought to make things nice
You remained eager to do your duty.
