Tiny

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Apr 26, 2023 

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
enhanced.
New
sheriff
in town.
New boss.
Soulless
boss.
What
will it
see?
Lousy
examples
we be.
Top
of the
totem.
What
did it
learn?
