Most of us strive to do a better job everyday. Promotions, pay rises and other forms of rewards such as a meal are nice but sometimes, what matters even more to boost our psyche is a gesture that all you have done is greatly appreciated but how often are we not only not rewarded for going the extra mile but also get sidelined in favour of others who don’t even have to do an iota of what we do. At that point, it all seems futile to carry on with the good work we have been doing and you wonder why you have been a nice guy all along. This poem is drafted by my good friend, The Blue Flamingo who understands perfectly what it feels like to be kicked in the gut time after time even when we have given our best effort. It is dedicated to everyone who has ever felt unappreciated at some point in their lives.
When there is no appreciation
When there is no reciprocity
The task becomes thankless
Unmindful and ungracious
When there is no gratitude
When there is no indebtedness
The entire experience becomes
Unpleasant and unrewarding
When there is no sign of thankfulness
When there is no hint of mutuality
The complete exercise becomes
Distasteful and unsatisfying
When there is no acknowledgement
When there is no recompense
The assignment becomes a mere routine
Repugnant and revolting

Very nice poem^^
i understand how that person feels and being nice is just something superficial now.
