Office

- A place where people converge to work, talk, fight and meet
Sitting at the table, working with files and talking on telephones-
Are some of the chores done lawfully.

- Consoling a pal, lending a friendly hand,
Helping a colleague and feeling for others are some of the
Unsaid deeds,

- Can one apply “this” to the world at large-
Where rules are made and broken?
Where people are spiteful and hateful
Where one is not sure when or where is the next calamity coming from?
