Senseless Followership
Her quest for relevance keeps her lower than position one
her worth is written all over the walls of her room
yet, steps out of the front door and completely forgets.
A bright brain is wrapped under her friends’ skirts
and basic rights, squeezed by the slippery muscles of their armpits
to eat whatever is thrown at her, even if not palatable.
Esteem works so hard on her own promotion,
self suffers a condemning look by own eyes.
she never sees but waits until the boss-girl fancies
her loyalty is then joked by every comedian in town.
confirming a connection only defined by abuse.
Friendship which is always measured with a long tape
does not deserve nurturing from the one whose legs are tied.
