[ Short Shorts ] Force Majeure

Being bullied at work, so this kind of resonates at the moment, more because I haven5 let them win and used their own rules against them. So satisfying to see them cringe cause they under estimated my intelligence behind the anger

so sorry to hear this :( hope your personnel dept can help set things right for you.

yeah, people underestimate all the time - as my high-functioning autistic son says "i'm autistic, not stupid''

All is fair in love and war when they set the standards they themselves can't live up to.

Thank you, AP.

Word, give em enough rope to hang themselves with, leave a 2 word note:  Peter Principle

Someone has to be the example for Aesop to observe. So kind the walking cumstains who volunteer therof

Harsh, but true. Thanks for reading, Loki!

you control the bite of this piece. it's tight  

my one query would be 'with their best placed fool proof plans' -  a touch clunky in the mouth by comparison to the rest

possibly 'with best laid foolish plans'? just a thought :)

It is a mouthful for one to bite down on, yes. I will take it under advisement.

Thank you, Butters.

Perfect Mr Blaze. Always a delight to read your work.

I wouldn't say perfect, but rather perfectly adequate.

Thank you, BK.

Your poem got under my skin in terms of 'the universe' always seeming to be on holiday when bullies are doing their cowardly stuff - but I console myself that one day all, from king to pawn, go back in the box.

It's that whole Free Will thing, I know. But, yes. The day comes when everyone gets wiped from the board and has to own up to what they created in their lifetimes. For some, it's a steaming pile of Force Manure.

Thank you, Josh.

When Nietzsche wrote that "God is Dead", he was pointing straight into the 21st century...power power everywhere...why is it that the universe just doesn't seem to care? Powerful ink Johnny.
Cheers...Harry

The Universe is busy watering flowers, flowers everywhere. Something has to keep the fools oxygenated.

Thank you, Harry.  

It's almost like the neverending story, isn't it?  Sometimes the only way some learn is by the rope you allow them to hang themselves with.  Straight as an arrow - I expect no less from you. xo

There's just no shortage of fools in this Universe that schools; new students always coming in the doors to replace the graduates and drop outs.

Thank you. xo

Dear JB,

“Truth!” says she, as she punches the air in frustration. This bullying and making fun of everyone has to stop. It’s a blight on the human race. This piece is great in that it has ignited my ire.

What is Ire? Fire without the F I suppose.

Thank you, Honoria.

“Fire without the F” there’s a competition in here somewhere.

Ire=anger  I was trying to be fancy. 😔

Love the poem! H

All I can say is, the universe, works for those who are on one page. And well, the "bad" guys are much more united in the game than the "good" ones.

That's because they believe in force through numbers.

And need for minions.

Thanks for reading, Void.

I've always been a pawn in the game... but sometimes a pawn can be promoted to Queen - the most powerful piece on the board. I'm still waiting! A good write!

Thank you, Birch. Being yourself and living your life the way you want is the best way to stay off the board.
