Coldplay's Viva la vida
if it were by a corporate
Synergy burns inside our Slack threads
Raising up the quarterly flags we spread
Among the many stakeholders around
My bandwidth gets the praise we've found
Yet the roadmap cuts so very deep
And the circle back steals my sleep
Just one EOD reminder stays
Lit inside my heart through all these days
Through the Troy of meetings I will go
Floating on a sea of status quo
Searching for a path that leads me home
Following the metrics as I roam
Even when the pivot steals my way
Still my OKR will hold today
After all these sprints and all this pain
I will touch the synergy again
I will return, beyond that sea of Slack, to find my peaceful home at last
Though I stumble through each all-hands call, I'll keep the leverage and climb the wall
Even when the roadmap swallows all my days, I'll chase the bandwidth through the haze
Finally touching ground where joy can start, I'll end this journey in my heart
