The Failings Of The Corporate Machine Poem by Matthew Holloway

They, being upper management
The result ofa higher education
Paid for by the wealth of established family
Seem to run all such business
And their practices fall lackluster
In the board rooms of industry
The hiring of firms to farm information
Data collection and failed understanding
As only that which is wished to be heard
Is ever actually listened to
Much like governments, money induced
Think tanks, solicited groups
With the prowess of Crassus
Lead into a desert of despair
In which loss is all but guaranteed
There is a simple and effective truth
Of which they do not see
~
A happy workforce
Is an efficient workforce
And an efficient workforce
Is a profitable one
~
My mantra and lesson of life
When people are happy
When they are in a good place
They do better, grow and thrive
This is often overlooked by governments
By the mass of cooperate machine
And So the clock cards of each day
Spell out the stagnant failings
Of what could be
Something great
