The Belittler

Why are you so cruel and mean?
Why do you yell and create a scene?

In front of others you belittle me.
I have feelings to, why can't you see?

You may have been right in what you said.
Couldn't you have just told me privately instead?

If you have problem why not just sit and talk?
Why do we have to argue into a gridlock?

You left a scar on my wounded emotions.
Why, use unkind words when you take a notion?

Everyone else may kiss-up under your spell.
I, will not sucumb to your egotistic degrading hell.

If this keeps on day after working day..
I will finally tell you, what I really want to say.

I may be fired; no more being nice and polite.
If I do, at least...it will not be without a fight.

Leave It Cleaner

"Leave it cleaner than you found it;"
Do not be too high for a minial task.
Those above you may come around it
And curse a praise, then, amazingly ask,

"Did you perform this excellent work?"
"Are you the one behind it all?"
"Would you like a position that others shirk?"

Just you be ready to answer the call...

And "leave it cleaner than you found it."
Do not act too high for a minial task.
Though all your peers may come around it
With curses behind white teeth to ask,

"Why are you doing more than the work?"
"There is no need to do much at all!"
"They care not for us, so this we shirk."

Just you stay ready- they will miss the call...
