Coffee Shop AU

Oh that which is the Coffee Shop AU!

But, if not for the fandom drama, why all the hate?

Once upon a time, the coffee shop was a safe haven. Kids flocked there for comfort similar to what they were told 'was like home'. Their manners were high and they money slim. The good kept away the bad.

Now, it is a mockery of what it once was.

Corporate greed and the intrusion of the boomers has driven many of the best coffee makers away. With them, the good kids have no reason to visit and make sure everything is ok. An thus the bad slowly gets worse.

Until finally, a trope is made.

Weight

So many talk of loosing weight to be happy, to be healthy.

So many think it is your personal weight.

None think of the weight from stress, sickness and work.

Perhaps this should be the weight that you focus on a bit.

High School Goth

Oh for the whimsy of the high school goth! To be young again and in love with the aesthetic all over again!

The time before the large name store sold out, when it's quality was crap but it's employees full of life.

These are the days that such follies are thought on with tender remembrance and wishes that you had known better. Had been kinder to them.

Perhaps in time you can try again.

To Hell

Oh such a useful term is 'to hell'.

Interpretation not always guaranteed to be the same.

Orchids

So delicate are the orchids of the day. Hot house grown and then thrown away.

What would one do? 

If you knew how they grew, for such beauty and grace to tossed with out face?

No, they are of a stronger breed.

Secrets and stubbornness. For some they might be to touchy.

But others find, if happy, their orchids never disappoint.

A sadly better thought then how some homes are hell.

Run

Run little kiddies, run while you can.

The officers coming and he'll hinder you if he can.

The boogeyman is coming and they run in fear.

Because cops have nothing else that they fear.

Cruel Reward

Why does the world reward the people that are most cruel?

Punish the ones that protect and stand up to the cruel?

The children of the 80's and the 90's grew up being lied to.

The baby boomer parents saying words tainted by yuppies and the bitter rich.

All Who Lie

To all that would torment you. to all who lie and steal and harm you in ways that you don't know.

To them the petty pains that will never harm you but bring you secret joy.

The bough of death drones on.

With drones swirling about it as if a swarm of motorized black birds.

Get your shot gun kiddies, its hunting time.

A Cowardly Manager

 A cowardly manager allowing a bad employee to dominate the office is a horrible situation.

Both should be gotten rid of, yet both are impossible to remove.

The manager refuses to do their job and the owners won't believe anyone else.

Thus the scene is set for a company to fall.

Woe is the dark in the light.

Falling from the wisps of the lights tendrils.

Sinking, drifting.

Slowly the nap slips upon you and you are gone.

Beyond Your Limits

When you have been push far beyond your limits, far too many times.

Then and only then will you be met with questions as to why or when you stopped caring.

They will waste your time because they will always believe that they are more important then you.

Some will learn and let you be.

But only some.

Small Business

The small business, such a wonderful thing!

Sadly no one tells you how to make a P&L, get a Tax ID number, get a State Tax ID number, how to pay social security & medicaid.

(The when for social is after you sell $?.)

Yet so many people wonder why small businesses fail so fast?

Why it is so hard to stay alive?

Why no one knows how to keep a micro business going because you don't want it to grow beyond your means.

The new starving artist.

Boom Baby

The boom of babies and the bitter reproach they have to their own teachings.

A generation of 'do as I say' with a larger dose of 'but god help you if you dare try any of my actions on me'.

A double edged sword that they wield that is slowly cutting them to nothing as they destroy whats left of the world.

With kindest regards,

Emotional Labor

Bitterness and the workforce.

The emotional labor industry that is taken for granted.

Continually they are trod upon, with nothing more then a 'thank you'.

Yet thoughs that trod upon these hard workers want nothing more to be paid to them.

However they curiously wonder why their 'favorite' would ever leave for another job?

With kindest regards,

Monster

There is the monster that lurks.

It lurks not only in the dark, but in the light of day.

Some even say that it prefers to hide in the light.

Why you ask? 

Because that is were it's victims are unaware and unassuming.

With kindest regards,

The Translator

Bitterness

Bitterness is the wrath of not being able to give someone a piece of your mind in the proper manner.

Because no matter how bad your boss might be, they will never be worth anything more then a passing glance.

Wait until after you get a new job and they ask for you to do something.

Then laugh.

Changing Tide

Life in waves and swells.

Over and over the tides will change and be changed by wandering travelers in the night that cloaks them like day.

Where did they go?

When will they come back?

The need is here and now, but they have gone missing.

With kindest regards,

Murder

Murder cries the world as the corporate offices take stab after stab.

They swing a knife made of the bones of the country.

Honed with the blood of the innocent.

Coated in the poison that seeps in the waters of the city of Flint.

Goths

90's goths painted their faces white for the aesthetic.

The goth subculture has many, many aesthetics things.

Some became hipsters for the irony.
