Endless Aftermath (Death of a Corporation)

Eugene S.

When you died, it all rang true, and you died as all selfish things do.
It was over - all but the memory of you.
"Never again", "Never again", we all did say.
For the ending brought hope for a new day.
But days fade, just as memories fade away,
and another did take the place - someone new, someone brave.
Someone who learned, saw lost ways, and past days, costrued as something true. 

Isn't it funny how it all repeats?
Over and over and over again.
The same old selfish deeds, revenge on those who see.
And those who never did, well, revenge will it be.
For a conglomerate mind only cares for the company.
If you think that company is you? - patience, you will see.
One day you shall be cut out, cut out as on cue. 

Again, it is nothing new that has tortured you,
misled you, betrayed you, enslaved you.
There was a void, and it had to be filled.
Whether that fill comes slow or comes quick, 
you will one day know that you were tricked, and induced to believe that they stood for you, and all that you saw as true -
a corporate mind with an all-encompassing value -
value for profits, and everything to do
with revenues. 

So what is the great lesson, when a conglomerate ends its days?
When those who were cut out, see their ways?
And will no longer praise the days of the company?
It really all comes down to you.
What you see as true, and the glasses you see your truth through.
The death of a tyranny opens the way to another day for a new tyrant to find his way to destiny.
