In a world where employers and broken systems treat you like a number, and you always feel like number 2, I hope that some day, someone tells you that you're their number 1, and they become yours too.

Numbers
Every day, as the clock strikes ten You march into the office Swinging your arms back and forth In a crude imitation of Herr ****** As the eyes of every employee Focus on your cold, black ones As if by magic A deafening silence fills the office As Hope turns into Despair Trust turns into Betrayal Confidence turns into Insecurities Love turns into Hate And Peace turns into Pieces As your ringing voice fills the air Resulting in a cacophony Louder than those infernal firecrackers Everybody's worst nightmare comes true As you yell at your team Mocking all their painstaking efforts Dehumanizing them with casteist remarks Your voice cuts into their feelings Like a knife through butter Leaving wounds so deep That the scars shine brightly For the rest of their lives You are not an employer You are a cruel, sadistic tyrant Hiding behind the facade Of a concerned maternal figure However, as with all tyrants The day will eventually arrive When you are toppled From your lofty throne Your business will sink Just as the Titanic did You will be in huge debt Your ill-gotten gains evaporating into thin air As your erstwhile employees have their last laugh It is you, who will be left With wounds so deep That the scars shine brightly For the rest of your miserable life
