I MISS

I MISS I miss the hurly burly of the business world All that backstabbing and the political tricks And all the ignorance that always surprised As blustering and hesitation, often disguised They were easy ways to wriggle out of a fix As all around them, incompetence swirled A capacity to listen, one might have thought Being so pointless going through the motions Regret for all those disregarded opportunities Chinese walls between the social communities Not just rivulets of division, more like oceans Blind to innovation, just sticking to the report There were probably just a few days of bliss The moments when I got the world to rhyme All around me was a curtain of mere timidity After years of trying to change such stupidity Retirement finally arrived in the nick of time Sorry, I lied, as there is nothing that I’ll miss
