<br />
CORPORATE BULLIES.<br />
<br />
A hate of my traits I understand fully.<br />
It usually comes from the corporate bully.<br />
The way I am can make them feel.<br />
I represent their Achilles heal.<br />
<br />
They wheedle their way up the corporate tree.<br />
Then aim to control both you and me.<br />
Once they’ve climbed the corporate pole.<br />
They develop their devious role.<br />
<br />
Then they wield their corporate power.<br />
To try to get us all to cower.<br />
They’ll try to become the gatekeepers.<br />
So they can withhold their signatures.<br />
<br />
You’re used and abused with wile and stealth<br />
All in the name of corporate health.<br />
In means they have no preference.<br />
They want respect and deference.<br />
<br />
They do not want to earn respect.<br />
This is something they just expect.<br />
Respect is one thing they don’t give.<br />
They’ve no idea how others live.<br />
<br />
Inherently flawed the hierarchy.<br />
Places them ‘over’ the likes of me.<br />
This makes them feel superior.<br />
Implying that we’re inferior.<br />
<br />
They do not take into account.<br />
We all have things that we surmount.<br />
A job’s a job when all is done.<br />
They’re no more use than anyone.<br />
<br />
Yet from their high and mighty perch.<br />
They do their best to us besmirch.<br />
They’ll find fault and criticise.<br />
Then blame us – surprise, surprise!<br />
<br />
They’re blind to any corporate flaw.<br />
No new views will they explore.<br />
They think they know what they should do.<br />
And they want to do it to me and you.<br />
<br />
Corporate bullies subjugate.<br />
They make life hell and miscreate.<br />
And whilst they wish to bully us.<br />
They want us not to make a fuss.<br />
