The Boss

A Sonnet

By D. J. ReddallPublished about a year ago 1 min read
An AI Generated Image

Glib, irresponsible but successful

A virtuoso at delegation

Smoothly combed, mischievously powerful

Fit to rule a tribe or corporation

Bored by complex, semantic density

A charming, sycophantic courtier

To those who can fulfill his destiny;

Ruthless and inhumane with the dirtier

Detritus who meekly obey his will

What he regrets or loves or believes in

Stays coolly invisible, like the chill

That touches those who, so ordered, will sin

Bespoke and sumptuous, his suits must hide

His soul, now made entirely of pride
