I am the aftermath
of the pandemic
I am the unwanted guest
who created havoc
changed people’s
life upside down
I took you out of
the comfort zone,
made you run
so that you can win
I made you take
the road less traveled
and gave you the courage
to surmount the hurdle
I stripped the cover
of your old book
to give you a new look
I took away things
from you that
you thought were
needed but weren’t
I broke all the barriers
to give you a
brand new career
I showed a new path
when you lost your way
I revealed the
true colors of people
around you,
what do you say?
I am the redundancy
that you wish
you never had to meet
by the way
About the Poem
A few months back I lost my job because of redundancy. This poem is inspired by that event. Across the globe, Redundancy changed the life of so many people upside down. For a few, it has really been a struggling period but for a few like me, it has proved to be good as it helped me land a more prestigious job. Sometimes redundancy and layoffs are a nightmare but sometimes they happen for our own good. There are two sides to a coin, good and bad. A few witness the bad side and a few witness the good side.
