Tiny.
Look around.
They’re
everywhere.
Tiny things.
Pompous
things.
Pushing
shoving.
Jockeying
for
position.
Magnified
importance.
Perceived
influence.
Raining
from the
cloud.
Pushing
buttons.
Calling
the shots.
Power
eats away
soul,
respect.
Stepping
over, on.
Hard world.
Cold world.
Pecking order
on full
display.
Digitally

New
sheriff
in town.
New boss.
Soulless
boss.
What

see?
Lousy
examples
we be.
Top

What

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

I appreciate the visual representation of this poem, creating a virtual totem. You are right about mankind and its pecking order, how we step all over one another trying to get ahead only to discover that we are right where we are - standing still. It's like rushing to get past a slow driver only to find yourself at a red light. LOL! It's better to just take your time and enjoy the journey. The destination will come. We don't need to die trying to get there.
