Business As Usual (Nothing Personal) (Free verse) by poetry_rancour Quietly the beast sits in a corner
Chewing on a bone
Its own
How much longer
The question begs
Can it keep chewing on its own legs?
Up the ladder:
jamming(me on drums and a slightly out of tune piano
Down the ladder:
turn back time

I understand. I was angry that day. A company I worked for had fired an associate of mine (did the same to me a few months later). It is about "downsizing", shedding staff, losing FTE's. How long can a company continue letting people go before there is nothing left of the company? My apologies. The poem obviously needs work....but the anger has gone so I fear it will remain as is.
