Stuck In a Rut

You say it's not fair

but why are you

in this moment

in this space

now?

 

Choices you make

is all it is

circumstance you say

and a higher power

the devil made you do it

 

the decision was yours

suck it up

take it like a man

or a woman 

 

are you here now

in leadership for

the wrong reason ?

 

burnt out you say

short vision

and blinkers on

is the trouble

more often than not

these days 

 

stuck in a rut?
