Luxury resort
1st day arrival
Opening speech
Eager disciples
Fantastic dinner
Managers gathering
Dinner and drinks
Everyone’s staggering

A 4 day meeting
An agenda planned
Fantastic concepts
Subliminal command
Naive managers
From every store
An army of soldiers
To spread the word

Executives talking
To hear themselves speak
Carefully chosen words
Persuasive technique
Meant to disguise
This illusion is used
Overhyped goals
Unknowingly confused

Vendors are met
With displays for sale
Trade show profits
The curse of retail
A few more speeches
And a few more drinks
We’re being manipulated
Trained to not think

Notes are well taken
Documents prepared
Back to the stores
The message is shared
Year after year
Rinse wash repeat
Company initiatives
Mission complete

The kool aid is drank
Brainwashed control
A secret agenda
To save on payroll
Growth and opportunity
Only to feed the rich
We’re all passed out
Under the kool aid bridge

    1. What a compelling write. It’s crowded with the bustle of a million persons trying not to collide with each other, but still interacting cautiously, perhaps? The capitalist crowd.
      A very well drawn out write, that hooks the reader in, nodding as they reach the bottom of the page.
      Well done, sir.
