My Career Secrets
by Mohamed Fazloon

One million miles away,
Following the company rules and regulations falling to obey,
With an obstacle of interest in my career,
Always falling down a furlong sheer,
Working around the clock every year,
I witnessed the corporate culture's precedence,
It makes no difference,
When company politics dominated by monologue,
Bosses never heard us speak or hardly a proper dialogue,
I was just ambitious, wrong and sarcastically debated,
Some job skills were even underrated,
Stuck and frustrated as I waited,
Certainties happened and wasn't even fated,
Professionally being able to be sorted,
My skills developed my patience,
And many explanations,
I had no time for more complications,
Not a fine beginning,
Though time was really consuming,
I keep thinking,
From company shrinking,
Unfairness and back stabbing,
While colleagues kept on nagging,
My colleagues were painfully challenging and very wise,
And early to rise,
I fought for indenture servitude,
With tears of my solitude,
Unwilling loneliness in a multitude,
Held down beaten by an attitude,
I can't even find my smile or my gratitude,
Struggled deeply thence drowned,
Like a grey path as I walked around,
I stopped worrying then lock into a vision,
Zero qualification but clockwork ambition,
Only just a quick decision,
I finished my MBA for job competency,
Tried ambitiously and provocatively,
Rising above the recruitment policy,
Applied for many job vacancies finding my opportunity,
Lessons learned being a bit premature,
Felt pathetic during my tenure,
I never looked back as I survived,
no issues swimming highly derived,
Fought the toughest waves of the ocean,
Finally I got that promotion,
They transferred me to different locations,
When other opportunities arised in forward motion,
By surviving the trace of my experiences,
Into a top notched deliverance,
That was my most basic ingredients.
