The builder is contacted
Mangement wants to see him
Legalese and misdirection abound
Thinly veiled hints and threats
He know's his time is over before they even dismiss him
"One last thing, security will escort you out."
He works very hard at not meeting the gazes of the others
The climbers, the profiteers
The Januses, the Judases
The cowards
The liars
"I saw him do..."
"He said to me..."
"You know he likes to..."
Given almost enough time to gather his things
Allowed to say goodbye to the True
Walked to the front door
Told not to return
He's walking away and thinks
I helped build you. This is my home. And you know I've done nothing. In the end, I suppose you'll reap the whirlwind. Good luck to you.

I really like the cadence and the pace of this piece. I don't know who it's about, but I identified the protagonist as Jesus, probably just because I'm a strong Christian (and the Judas mention didn't hurt).
I thought it interesting that the protagonist didn't seem to have any real anger, but more just a resignation to his fate, even though the other people sound like jerks.
I liked "Allowed to say goodbye to the True"
No idea what it meant.

I do remember one thing. It took hours and hours, and by the time I was done with it, I was so involved I didn't know what to think. I carried it around with me for days and days, playing little games. Like not looking at it for a whole day, and then looking at it. To see if I still liked it. I did. -"Indiscipline" (if you can't guess the band, then you're not paying attention)
