Quite a Piece of Work

She’s like a boor or a yokel
who knows no boundaries
such a pain in the neck
that makes others suffer.

Her ways is irritating,
like in many instances
where collaboration entails
either at work or in any human endeavor.

She continues to brag about
her role as someone who’s in charge
but that’s not a big deal;
not even something to tell.

It’s always in that perspective
where one has to understand
that our role as co-workers
doesn’t need so much ambition.

It’s true that human relationship
a proverbial tone in all sectors
that conflicts come to the fore
inevitable, a challenge by nature.

Confrontation or dialogue
with sincerity and openness
difficult but meaningful
especially in our culture.

It’s nonetheless a real picture
about ourselves in actions
the work of human principles
negate hiding and sugarcoating.

Well, that’s life in reality,
always the common reason
co-existence in similar institution
needs prayer and communication.
