Office Politics
A short poem about office politics
A penny drops from the sky, Just another day
Office politics can be quite the intricate dance,
Where alliances shift and whispers advance.
A pennyβs worth of power, a subtle sway,
In the fluorescent-lit corridors, they play.
The breakroom gossip, the passive-aggressive smile,
The coffee machine confessions, all the while.
Promotions, backstabbing, hidden agendas unfold,
In this corporate tango, secrets bought and sold.
So we navigate the cubicles, our armor on tight,
Balancing ambition and diplomacy just right.
For in this daily drama, we find our place,
A pennyβs worth of power, in this intricate space. πΌβ¨

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
