Always following company policy
you set a good example and it showed
qualified at your level of incompetence
while rather than carry the can
you continued to kick it down the road
and I'll be the first to say I'm last in line
on the lower echelon boot-licking list
but please trust and do keep in mind
by me the cheeks of your behind
are not about to be bussed or kissed
I know at work I am junior-most man
on the promotion ladder totem pole
but on the whole you've surrounded yourself
with employees who are quite inferior
and tho' overall you may be the boss
no you are not my superior

Isolate echelon
in a temperate sky
God’s migratory wishbone
snaps
when it reaches
the place called home

Which voice,
May I have to follow?
Which choice,
Should I have to make?
Be it essence,
Of sun or sorrow?
For the path:
So, your grace?!

At the fringe of dark clouds of despair
The beguiling dreams made silver lining
Morphed into the wings of desire birds
That fluttered within the rainbow arc.
The flock flew in an en-echelon pattern
The ensemble floated in the azure sky
Weaved in air the dulcet design of delight
I captured entranced in my enchanted sight.
Spanning a sparkling slice of the firmament
Embellished with the panorama of sunset
The flock glided in twilight gleam in harmony
With the rhythm of airborne ballerina.
The pattern etched with celestial splendor
Adorned cloud clumps circling in the wind
As it danced and gracefully passed me by
I felt my essence take the euphoric flight.
