Wisdom, Dictum And Schism Poem by Noor Othman

There are people in the know; there are people that are blessed
These are the people whom, we want to tap what they profess
Their wisdom is sought, their ideas lead to success
Think-tankers and the shapers, you have always shown finesse

The think-tankers of an institution
Are those who provide the ultimate solution
They lead the staff to a revolution
Giving vision with fine elocution

They are not alone to chart the growth
All staff joins in, they say the oath
They silently pledge, failure they loath
Not a moment is allowed for anyone to sloth

Think-tankers are creatures of special breed
Speedy ideas thrown are brilliant indeed
They also harbor some elements of greed
In any rebuttal they do not concede

The life of a think-tanker does not last
At odd moment, ambition turns to lust
When that happens the staff is aghast
The time is up, to step down he is asked


This poem was inspired after the news on the downfall of world-renown personality who was asked to step down after a scandal
