In the glow of fluorescent lights,
we toil,
Each desk a fortress, each chair a
soul
Where dreams are planted, hopes take
flight,
Yet shadows linger, dimming the light.
Voices rise in the morning's hum,
But some are silenced, their words
go numb,
A nod, a glance, a whispered sigh,
Unseen battles, as time slips by.
The clock ticks on, a relentless
beat,
Yet some climb ladders, while others
retreat,
Merit ignored, as favoritism reigns,
A heavy burden, a weight of chains.
The coffee breaks, a fleeting
chance,
To share a laugh, to join the dance,
But whispers echo in the break room
air,
Of dreams deferred, of burdens to bear.
A promotion promised, but never
bestowed,
While others ascend on a
well-trodden road,
The talent unrecognized, the effort
unseen,
In a world where the loudest are often the keen.
Yet in the silence, a fire ignites,
A spark of courage, a call to
rights,
For every voice that dares to speak,
A chorus rises, strong and unique.
So let us stand, united and bold,
For fairness and justice, let our
stories be told,
In the workplace shadows, let light
break through,
For every heart matter, and so do
you.
