What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Too quick to judge he was,
Dagger of words to pierce her heart,
For an action judged presumably,
Later to realize that he was wrong.
The tales of Madam Margret and her boss was told,
Throughout the night she was physically humiliated by her husband,
Beaten, battered and emotionally injured she was,
No help, no rescue and no one she could have called close bye,
As a strong woman she was, she summoned courage as if nothing has happened,
Early enough, she prepared and set out for office,
No one can ever be stronger than his/her emotional state.
Madam Margret tried hard to frame a happy face on her way to work,
But the more she tried, the more her injured emotion betrayed her.
She was lost in thought at the entrance of her office building,
She was so unconscious of her environment to the extent that she walked pass her boss without a word of greeting,
Straight to her office to begin her daily routine.
Though with frustration and a dejection clouded mind.
Her boss on the other hand was furiously angered,
This is an height of insubordination he exclaimed,
Margaret is too full of herself, this is the third time she will walk pass me without greeting me!
This is nonsensical, she is too arrogant,
She is uncultured and incorrigible,
I will show her that I am the boss here,
She must be fired, I can no longer condone her insolence.
Madam Margret’s boss spewed fire as he rants from one corner of his office to another.
In his rage, he beckoned on his secretary to prepare a letter of disengagement for Madam Margret,
The religious secretary tried subtly to reverse the boss’s decision but all to know avail.
Without fair hearing, Madam Margret was disengaged.
With bleeding heart and a facial waterfall,
Madam Margret penned down her ordeals in marriage,
And the presumptuous acts of her boss,
It was a lengthy heart pouring words on the white leaf,
Hot tears were stamped on the paper as she writes.
Her trauma was misunderstood for arrogance,
Her emotional instability was mistaken for disrespect,
Her unexpressed pains were misjudged for an insubordination.
To worsen the matter, her presumptuous boss never give her fair hearing, let alone calling her for questioning and counsel.
In her helpless state of mind, she brought out a wrapped paper from her bag.
Your guess is as good as mine,
It was a dose of poison!
Madam Margret took the poison with water right in her office,
She quietly struggled in pains and died in silence.
Not too long the security personnel boost into Margret’s office to lead her out,
What he saw was terrifyingly alarming.
He called for help with an untold exclamation,
But it was too late, madam Margret has gone passed the Rubicon.
All the workers, the secretary and the boss could not hold their stands,
Fear gripped every heart looking at the lifeless body of madam Margret on the marbles and the note she left by her side.
The boss was confused within the Vails of self-humiliation and the option of suicide,
Though Madam Margret’s horrible husband is the demon to be executed here,
But her boss is the chief slaughter of the demons clan.
She was dehumanized by her husband, but
She was sent to her early grave by the senseless and presumptuous act of her boss.
Little show of love could have sufficed,
little sense of compassion could have lifted her burden,
little delay of nasty action could have avert,
Little words of kindness could have helped,
little consciousness of emotional states of other people could have been a way out,
little words of counsel could have saved the day.
The magnitude of a presumptuous act can never be imagined.
PRESUMPTUOUSNESS is the major problem in our present world,
Men tends to suspect other men by infaring opposite meaning to what is not.
Our world will be cool, when we diligently investigate actions before reacting.
