9 out of 10 women 
At my company
Accused me of sexual harassment
And are suing me
And I’m being sued for discrimination
By plain Jane my 10th employee...

The droop of purple foxgloves lift.
The uptick of balm a gift.
The shape of eyes suddenly shifts
On the brooding workplace clock.

It's a celebration of life,
It's a celebration of self,
An inner spirit and style,
expressed thru blazes of color.
Daring to be an original,
in a gallery of the commonplace....

Washcloth without
Waybill uphill

She has a hidey-hole in the workplace.
Sometimes we cannot find her for hours.
I found it accidentally once, but could not tell anyone
Because it was a rat’s nest and I never found my way back out....

Shallow individuals
Hollow minds
Tough fronts
Do as I say, not as I do
Hearts of ice
Exponential drama
Walking thru life with blinders on
Militant policy
Lose, lose environment
Finger pointing
No accountability

Average workplace?...

Evening 

I am just sitting at the bar
alone in my workplace 
Where are you my love?
Missing a guest to my life

Here is my drink
Only one glass
Where is yours?
Be my guest 
Just take a sit 
And give your love 

Hmm
Finish break time 
Finish my dream

Our boss employed a receptionist
Whose beauty we could not compare
Double D cups woke up the knights
As pheromones surged through the air

Her chair is usually empty
Excepting this handwritten note:
"I have just stepped out for the male"
Exactly as written I quote...

I love my weekend...
My days off...

No Phones...No idiots! 

My Time...Yeah Yeah

Woop Woop Days off...

You hear the sweet melody of unity
The buzz and bustle of many songs at once
The movement of momentum in the workplace
The cry and laughter of the children
The whispers in everyone's ear flying throughout the school
These are the many different songs
We hear or sing from youth to aged
You hear the sweet melody of unity....

Divine so green and beautiful 
Your beauty invigorated my soul 
One look at you and I saw heaven 
You're a green field south of Eden 

So be strong amidst this storm 
Let your fertile ground make the flowers bloom 
What awaits you is the rising sun 
With glittering rays that does not shun

It was fun I couldn't resist,
An adventurous trip by office guys,
And so I lied to my wife!

She would not try and understand,
Monotony at workplace we face in our life,
And so I lied to my wife !

Imagine I can't come out of the hiding,
Since to Malaysia by hijacked MIG I flied,
Friends and home, scared of the plight,
Just as I lied to my wife !...

Talent has never just one face
Your self-discipline  is needed
Your self-improvement also show
That you're also blessed by heaven
But you haven't noticed that
One Malaysian leader confess
I rather choose good character
Who will work for my country
Than has outstanding diploma
Who gallivanting in workplace
I stand in awe after knowing this....

P     aranoia permeates, etching itself into your fractured face,
A     cacophony of constant pressure; life remains a stressful race,
N     othing to hope for, no positives like promotion in the workplace,
I      nability to love, relationships lift anchor and set sail without chase,
C     hildren crushing dreams under mortgages; age grows with disgrace

People are always squeaking about being the minority.
I am the minority at my workplace.
There are only three people here over sixty.
Me and two others.

Ninety percent of the staff is between 12 and 27.
Nine and a half percent of the others are between 28 and 51.
I am definitely the minority – invisible most of the time.
Unless someone wants something....

  She restores my sense of balance
    returns my sanity
  Lifts me high above the workplace
    elevates humanity

  Friday night two angels come 
    gliding through the door
  Behold! Sabbath lights kindled

back to normal holds a hopeful ring —
    presently, the ding spurs us into a boxing spar

our refuge - our home
    becomes a multipurpose cage

school, workplace, nursing station, cafeteria
     ailments scold, yes

we're principals, doctors too.
        presently, the ding spurs us into a boxing spar

back to normal    holds a hopeful ring

Nursey school and kindergarten
  were filled with hours of play

'Graders' first through third
  the 'Three R's' all day

The rest of school was one big blur
  some teachers - ma'am; others - sir

When we finished college at age 22
  we felt ready, thought we knew what to do

Only to find disappointment in our workplace debut
  ~ What we'd learned all those years just wouldn't do...
