This is for the Vocal "Sensational" poetry challenge
The prompt is:
Write a poem inspired by the five senses.
The idea for this came to me on my walk this morning. It is free form although it has a structure, but I always feel a little lazy when I write things like this.
The music is "I'll Take Care Of You" by Gil Scott-Heron
Me taking care of Tom the cat with white socks at Mariann's suggestion.
I hope you enjoy it and take something from it.

The CEO of Everything
They say "jack of all trades, master of none," but they forgot to mention the part where the jack of all trades is also the camera woman, the makeup artist, and the person currently yelling at a tangled Wii microphone cable in a her own bathroom while recording herself singing and trying to make it look realistic and professional. (As professional as you can make it with nothing but a cell phone camera and a mic that doesn't work)

Nice one, Mike!
Love the message paired with beautiful music. In the end all we have is each other. โค๏ธ
Good advice for your fellow humans and a great take on the challenge. I can relate to feeling a little lazy about writing in free form, but I think there are instances where it lets the impact of the words carry the weight of the poem. This is one of those instances. Well done.
