The Hammer

“You’re too old. It’s time to go.” “Go and enjoy your life.” Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit words Reverberate against my mind The words sticking in my craw like an egg to an un-greased fry pan. Lies and deceptions I was given an      Ultimatum      Go while the goings good      You’re old      You’re making mistakes More lies… Retire now or else… 4300 days With “Retire with dignity” ringing in my ears, I stepped out of the office into a new perspective. Like a condemned man knowing the moment the switch would be thrown, I stepped out of one life bound for another The Beatles sang me a tune, “The Long and Winding Road”
