Beauty With The Spice

He is chained to the floor
But that would be an understatement
He is buried beneath it
But that would be an understatement
He's lodged far below the prison
That is his life chained to a steel
Surface with a contraption
That possesses no key
But even that would be an understatement
His soul itself is being held
For ransom by a miserable mundane
Thing called the 9-5
But yes, that too
Would be an understatement
He's weighing his options
That for him are
Few and far in between
But that would be an understatement
He's cooking in the kitchen
Of course he barely knows how to cook
And that would be an understatement
But that's alright
He'll learn today
So he's got a pot
Sitting at the bottom already
Are a bunch of rotten
Ingredients he never asked for
And that would be an understatement
But he has to make something nice
A dish of beauty with the spice
So he's getting right to work
Adding in the vegetables mixing up the rice
He's got something real
Hot in a pot to the right
So he really has to multitask
And that would be an understatement
Next thing he knows he has
All these things going
It was pretty rough
At first but now he feels like
He's flowing and his hopes keep growing

But... Of course

Shits about to hit the fan
And that would be an understatement
Picture everyone crowding him
Trying to throw their spices in the pot
Tells him it's helping like it or not
So he's on the defense
Blocking spices left and right
While trying to make the best dish ever
But he's clever
And that would be an understatement
Despite all of his obstacles
He's determined to make something nice
A dish of beauty with the spice
So he's getting in the zone
Vision getting foggy
Wax on wax off
Mister Miyagi, blocking hands
And bad vibes like fans from all sides
Until voila!!
He's made a masterpiece

And although we all started off with those rotten ingredients that we never asked for, although it may feel like we're chained to the floor, we still have the choice to make something nice. A dish of beauty with the spice.

And that's an understatement.
