#DOYOURJOB


#DOYOURJOB
by matt burns

Patriots opener
The new slogan
#doyourjob
They keep on hammering it home
Do your job
Do your job

Can't help but think about Hannah Arendt
Eichmann
The banality of evil
You know,
That Nazi who was on trial after the war
They asked him how could he commit such atrocities
I was just doing my job he said

I know, I know
The Patriots meant well
What to do amidst deflate-gate?
All you can do is
Do
Your
Job
Okay, I get that
But it's just being hammered home
Way too intensely
All over the news
All over Facebook
Do your job
#doyourjob

It's not happening on a conscious level
More in the shadowy subconscious
But the more I hear the slogan
The more 
And more 
I feel I'm being re-programmed 
Brainwashed
With a philosophy of amorality

DEFLATE-GATE WAS AN INSIDE JOB*


DEFLATE-GATE WAS AN INSIDE JOB*
by matt burns

Deflate-gate was an inside job*

Multiple Superbowl wins
Broken records
Greatest quarterback ever
Most popularity ever
Things have plateaued
Where to go from here?

Deflate-gate was an inside job*

'Til now, it's mostly been a man's sport
Women like the drama
So write them some drama
A scandal
A soap opera
Starring a dreamy hunk
Tom Brady

Deflate-gate was an inside job*

The court battles go on
And on
No resolution
'Wells' reports
Rulings
Appeals

Deflate-gate was an inside job*

And just in the nick of time
Right before the opener
Hooray
Suspension lifted
Tom Brady is exonerated
David beats Goliath
A giant victory for Patriots nation

Deflate-gate was an inside job*

The new season has a new story hook
Prove those haters wrong
Prove those deflated balls had
Nothing
To do with the wins
That's the story
That's the drama
Entertaining for the
Biggest
General
Audience 
EVER

Deflate-gate was an inside job*

*I have no hard evidence to substantiate such claims but I'm going to use Wells report lingo and say "it's more than probable".
