Africa

A land of colors, cultures, and wildlife

From where the ancestors of humans

Rose into prominence in this big world

Ill-treated for centuries in the dark ages  

Carries the hope of millions of deprived

As they try to rise in the new world order

Disgruntled workforce

Gruel some nature of contemporary jobs

Rips apart the high levels of expectation

Impatient peers consistently moves on

Making lame excuses of unbearable stress

All along in this competitive business world

Casting doubts over the human comforts

Exhilarating the demands of parity in pay

Pushing people towards ambitious productivity regime

Hastens their desire to exit for less turbulent pastures

After all everyone wish to work for securing their families

Seeking all their energy and time for unrealistic deadlines

Endangers the harmony of an aspiring peaceful work space

Stuck on a boring job that extracts the skills with betraying pay

Tires out even the hearts of ever-loyal passionate employees

Unless there is motivation in the form of promotion and perks

Mind it, no body wish to live for the sake of working all the time

Better time- frames and work distributions can ease the nerves

Instilling fresh confidence in  an out of sorts insecure work force

Eager to have ample time to enjoy their lives with the loved ones
