controlling managers
have no
hope. they don’t need
hope
because they
know how to use
shackles.
they stopped
growing long
ago so they’re
world is very
small.
they cackle with
delusions of
power.
they’re goal
oriented, certainly.
but the objective
can never be
greater than
themselves.
they like to
project the image of
super-achievers,
but they’re
nothing more than
warmed-over
mediocrity
& all the souls
who work for them die
young.
