Poem" Comfort Shattered

A little too good at their job
Too comfortable
too set in routine
knowing what comes ahead
reassures all their fears.


Upheaval
reorganization
shifting priorities
different ways to do things
it needs to evolve, improve.


Suddenly new rules
other guidelines
nothing is the same.
The sense of dread
of insecurity.


At a loss
fumbling in the dark
confusion, anger, uncertainty.
Mistakes made
new orders misunderstood.


Until a new routine
finally solidifies around them.
Over and over again
The sense of coming home
but hard fought, long awaited.


But how long will it last?
When will it change again?
No longer secure
no longer complacent
The world is a scary place.
