Human Business

Honestly - why are you smiling?

You were a demon at work

So let’s show we are human

I do believe we are, but

KPIs truly turn our teeth a yellow-green

Decayed tooth

Feed on a holy image to distract

From the skeletons under our bed

Like the comments you leave under the shared articles

Why not send a message instead if you really mean it?

Clap me in the crowd

But the devils in the detail

Would you still come with that energy if you didn’t hit your KPI?

The Kindest Killer, my oh my

I’d rather embrace your green teeth grin

Just don’t pretend

Sweet Human business

Show me, not just on LinkedIn

If you want to "know me", know me - I'd want you to know I love magical realism, wisdom literature, songwriting, words that make you go "ooH?", sharing stories, anime & seeing people heal
