To a promotion, you, their blinding client,
The eyes that caught your look desired to lever;
Still, on one market we were not reliant,
And where the world is good we chide it never.
Instead we redeployed the whole division
Till second sight became our secret sauce;
The body’s heart thus beat with corporate vision,
And minting prophecy, was blindness boss.
Blind eyes yet dread a public exit’s roadshow;
Dead spheres, therefore, make bankers’ living sight
Returns betokening not IPO:
We’re always unreceptive and polite.
Yet cash flow little salves that corporate soul
Which burns to sell at last and cede control.
Anthem for “Occupy Wall Street” perhaps? LOL In these unsettled times of corporate corruption, long-term downsizing, persistent unemployment, and $4 gas, this may be the last and best way to expend one’s creative energies. Little else matters as it once did. Good poem, Eric.
Wow. Just wow.
A great use of words, I couldn’t fix up this poem if I wanted too.
This poem has great use of figurative language devices (rhyme, rhythm). I could see this in a poetry slam, even as a song.
Very powerful. Kudos to you and this poem.
Amazing, you have a talent!:)
An A for word use, but I suspect it is jabberwocky.
