He spoke in mitigated speech
Whereas he saw danger beckon rush
He whispered his cautions,
Couching it in innuendoes
Of’ifs,’ ‘buts’, ‘howevers’ and thoughs
Amid plethora of caveats
Before he ends
The hammer drops
Then he turns to says:
“But I told Boss”
“He heeds no advice”
He hides under cover
Of being below ladder
To cause the worse happens

Though he could avert
After the thunder strike
He calls attention to the lightening
His alerts, all in revert –
Never ever overt
Yet he boasts he’s ‘expert’
Of this
Of that –
All about wads of parchment
In his closets gathering dust
Aiming at just
Higher notch in payroll
Like ostrich with big wins
But can’t fly
He’s hugely potentials – heavy
Never capacity – fit
Yet he boasts he’s ‘expert’ –
Tens of them in one pay roll
Adapt at no trait, just heavy on enabling threats
Very keen
So, so keen on deadly bickering,
In-fighting and outwitting one another
Mission, vision or capacity.
