“Get with the program!” I heard him yell.
“What program is that?” I rebelled.
“The one I devise
and
it may change,
depending upon how I’m feeling,
how I want things arranged.
You see I always want to feel
special,
separate,
my own.
And I’m willing to jerk you around,
just to make it known.
So one day the program
will be building you up,
making you feel you are more than enough.
And next could be tearing you down,
reviewing your actions
so you feel like a clown.
As long as you follow my program,
you’ll never be sure
whether you’re making progress
or just spinning your wheels.”
“When did I sign up for this?” I inquired.
“When you began listening to
your ego.”
