Office Hate “Ukiah”’s

*I decided to write "hate haiku"'s while toiling away in a cubicle to cheer me up - unfortunately, I got the syllable rules backwards (7-5-7 instead of 5-7-5) and afterwards couldn't manage to straighten them out. But "haiku" spelled backwards is "ukiah" - a Native American term for "deep valley"- so maybe consider these deep valley's of wisdom instead?

The demands of the many

do not yet outweigh

the weight of the mighty sea

In hell there is no torture

only the sharp sound

of dying souls and typing

For life there is deep meaning

in work we find that

this no longer applies though

To err may be human and

to forgive divine

my boss only thinks she's god

Finding work is very hard

so is fulfillment

only one can pay the bills

Idle hands are the devil's

but no matter what

my boss still keeps them busy

Silent screams inside four walls

do not reach the ears

of anyone who might care why

+One proper haiku!

My heart breaks each time

my boss rips it from my chest

with more overtime
