In shadows cast by corporate towers high,
Where whispers weave a tale of cold deceit,
The bloom of trust, once vibrant in the sky,
Now withers ’neath the weight of lies complete.

Beneath the guise of leadership’s embrace,
A dance of masks conceals a heart unkind,
As loyalty erodes without a trace,
Inhuman treatment leaves the soul maligned.

Betrayal’s ink stains pages once pristine,
The covenant of trust now torn and frayed,
With every callous move, a wound unseen,
In silent suffering, the heart dismayed.

Yet, in the struggle, seeds of strength arise,
As broken souls unite, reclaiming skies.
