CEO’s Lament

Due to a convergence of topics in my life one day, I happened to be inspired to put this together.
Transcript:
There’s a grief that can’t be spoken
There’s a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Employees now work from home
Here they talked of parts production
Here it was they booked their time
Here they sang about RTO
But RTO never came
From the office in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And they rose with Zoom calls ringing
I can see them now
The very roads that they had driv’n
Became their last commuting
To the lonely parking lot, at dawn
Oh my friends my friends don’t ask me
What this office space is for
Empty chairs at empty tables
Where people will work no more
Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed since your seat will be empty.”
1 Samuel 20:18
