I don’t owe corporate greed
My sick days are owed to me
They are a part of my liberty
I deserve to rest and recoperate
I’m not stealing from billionaires
By having the common cold
Or needing a mental health day
Or taking care of family
The news tries to spin it
Like sick days are theft
That any lack of productivity
Is a corporate loss
From their mountains of wealth
But that’s pure gasslighting
A spin and twist of the truth
Eugenics and abelist rhetoric
I see past their con
And wonder how anyone buys it.
