Pulled in so many
Directions. Do this. Do that.
Forced through the motions

Blast from the Past:

We must return to
Ourselves after long stretches
To renew our soul

The same tie, same mask
Crowd round your manager
As he does his dance

(This piece of art I saw at a museum yesterday here in Java inspired my poem for today. The artist actually was thinking about societal changes in Kalamatan society here in Indonesia, but it made me personally think about conformity in the corporate world.)

Blast from the Past:

Scrutinizing management,
Flat and unprofitable,
Change is difficult.

Wake up too early
Without enough sleep. Oh dream,
Don’t leave me so soon.

Blast from the Past:

My bed calls to me:
“Where are you? I miss your warm
Embrace. Come to me.”

Arising from dust
We are a wild sunflower
Swaying in the breeze

Blast from the Past:

If I were a tree,
I would be curved and twisted
As I search for the sun
And my roots would cling dearly to the earth
