I am polite, listen to others, <br />Keep quiet, and carry out instructions; <br />I fall into one trap, ignored as ineffective. <br /> <br />I argue, assert myself, raise <br />My voice, question others’ opinions, <br />Crucified on Charybdis being arrogant. <br /> <br />Aware of the dilemma, <br />I don’t choose, hesitate to manoeuvre, then <br />Fall between the two into the subterranean. <br /> <br />I am not Odysseus the man of many wiles, <br />Who steered his ship safely on, after the Argo of Jason <br />Sailed long ago, in search of the golden fleece.<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scylla-and-charybdis/
