Darkest Days Poem by Sean Green
Darkest Days
The darkest days are the ones
that relegate my self-worth
to the end of the line
behind the wants of other ones
if the measure denies the self
considering betters above all else
when their thoughts are paramount
ruling all from high perch
supremacy comes in all forms
elevation the top concern
stating who will matter most
when plans evoke action's push
they know best after all
divining wisdom from the gods
stating what must occur
for the world to turn in its course
to these masters I bend a knee
accepting that I'm ignorant
not allowed to witness life
above the trenches where I'm stuck
satisfied with crumbs that fall
emotions dip in response
my self-worth will reflect
the press of life upon my head.

There is a " pecking order" in society, and in the workplace. Not everyone can be the boss, but everyone is entitled to respect, and kind and considerate regard. When this is absent, dissension always follows. A well-expressed poem.
