Dog Eat Dog Haiku and Poem

Rivals sly watching

Ready to pounce and eat you

Boardroom war begins

♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️

Dog Eats Dog

It is dog eat dog, starve your brain, treat the mean to succeed.

That is what they whisper in boardrooms and playgrounds alike.

Do not feel too much, they say, it slows the climb.

Do not pause for the fallen, it stains the shoe.

I have watched kindness folded away like an old coat.

I have seen soft hands harden into fists of ambition.

The loud are fed, the gentle are tested.

The quiet are told they lack hunger.

But I will not gnaw at another to prove I exist.

I will not empty my mind just to fill a throne.

If this world demands teeth, let it keep them.

I would rather keep my soul and walk slower.
