Analysis of Traffic jam!
© 2014 Roland Ediare 91652504-2-10-1-13
An encounter
The traffic jam of life
They won't let her be
Punctuating her mind.
One step forward,
Ten steps backward,
Demand they can't meet
They request your head.
Attempt to get more eggs
They butcher the mother hen
In process to their loss
Egg sources trumped for good.
Demand and demands
Like a grave never to be filled.
Complaints and complaints
They undo goodwill un-derserved
Like a traffic jam
Vehicles un-moving
A simple plan of life
Complicated by a lifestyle of strife.
Ohhhh! what a regret,
One-way track minds
Lopsided partnerships
Cankerworm relationships
Business transactions amiss.
Rules are bent, tables turned
The deal stays un-closed.
Now the thrill is gone
The egg laying Hen is dead,
For their greed and avarice
That's the way the cookie crumbled
Forever in the traffic jam of life.
