Ever had one of those days at work?

Futile

Going against the grain;

Sandpaper’s efforts wasted:

Certain woods will not be worn;

Advice falls like red leaves.

Rowing with intent;

The river is the nemesis.

Fear wears the crown;

Complacency has royal blood.

Decision is a rare prince;

Abdication his more popular brother.

Questions hide in shadows;

Courage dies a cowardly death.

Futility reigns.
