<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Until the gold fades<br>
I will treasure future years<br>
unchained from this life.</font></div>

</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">The leader shows a slide upon the screen<br>
a desert road, mountains in the distance.<br>
“The road forward” reads the caption,<br>
but it is not my road; I will part ways.<br>
The road of office life, shall not be mine<br>
I will take my leave, a different path.<br>
My career will pass from my hands as I exit.</font></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">The Emails offer training, ways to grow<br>
in agency programs, leadership skills,<br>
computer abilities useful for my work.<br>
Yet I am disengaged, it matters not.<br>
These things no longer ignite my fire<br>
in terminal time they have no meaning,<br>
no relevance to my now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m moving on.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">
<br>
</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">By my will I relinquish this cubical place,<br>
and abdicate this life with my own hand.<br>
I will take this life to live in other ways.<br>
My memory will fade as I move onward.<br>
My works will fall that others might build anew.<br>
I terminate this time office tomorrows.<br>
All things must end; I end thiw work life here.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">
<br>
</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">Soon shall come the day of this surrender<br>
the abdication of my work in the world.<br>
I shall return my badge, and my computer<br>
things I used though they were never mine.<br>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then I will depart for new tomorrows<br>
HUDGone shall cleanse my ghosts from here.<br>
I’ll travel on to death and liberation.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">
<br>
</font></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">I drop this burden<br>
looking to the horizon;<br>
Freedom, death, freedom</font></div>
