Mine is just a job

Mine is just a job
that's the problem
no higher purpose, no calling
card-games at lunch
my day revolves around a card game - we invented
keeps me going back to work - it's exciting
the social aspects of playing a game - are compelling
but what are games for - a pasttime
to pass the time
games are diversions to avoid the demanding responsibilities of life
a diversion to pass the time
mine is just a job that revolves around a clock marked by a noon time
diversion

stuck in a rut not in a groove

the pendulum keeps coming back to the diversion
is it time for a change? can I stop the pendulum?
make a call and find a call

Mine should be just
Mine should be higher
Mine should be worthy

Mine should not be just a job
