Behaviour/Dispossession - In The Workplace - Poem

61

By ajcor

Dispossession - A Universal Term.......and can be applied to both plural and the singular facets of life.


Drummers tap,

Brush

Stretched skins

Accompanied by

Doom ridden chants.


Senseless rants.

Orders made,

Sections slain.

Industrial action

Late blooming.


We tread the measure

of a different note,

as masters of our new regime

dispense by rote,

through media route

Bulletins to staff


To slash

Cut

Pre-budget.

Bodies fall

Victims to the greater good.


The frail fail

As superior staff of note,

Display acquiescience

To democratic demi gods.


Personal needs

Feed ambitions.

Power driven

To slash staff

And cities.

Just the right amount of words for impact.

Thanks Goldentoad - sometimes fewer words do have a bigger impact I think - pack a solid punch - cheers.
