The Recession Poem - From my friend Sai

A gut wrenching one from my friend sai on his Blog

"It was the 6 in the evening, time to leave
As I packed my bags and let out a huge heave
My inbox glowed with a nasty red light
What I saw completely changed my sught
It was a nasty mail from my boss
My whole life went for a toss
It was not one of those everyday blips
A note that gave me what u dread, a pink slip
The car and house dreams vanished into thin air
I cried hoarse boss this is just not fair
Where are those countless hours that I spent in front of the laptop
They all seemed to count to nothing as I climbed the rooftop
As my mind raced and heart skipped beats, I could feel the sweat
I thought about my wife, the baby to come and tried to forget
I closed my eyes and decided to end the coming days of shame
The dreams of money, foreign vacations and countless fame
I jumped and felt nothing for some time�������..
Till I realized my wife was shouting at me for a long time
The dream broke, but I was happy that this was a nightmare over
I walked into the bathroom empathizing with the man in the mirror
