This verse is a very close call Its here, the staff learns to build walls and dams Ideas flow lke slashing water... all finally to get stopped Dams do help irrigation but here the ideas gets dried up In the chamber of heat within. There vast difference in how the management perseive How the staff try to contribute. Somewhere the cushion calls Boss Staff sits on the thron bed awaiting the extinction In spite of being able to nurture the company with his might. This is a good topic for the day to me. Thank you dear poet.

Having attended board meetings, I would say you present a true and detailed account and assessment. I like these combinations: dying embers of ambition Negative creepy crawlies A fog of lifelessness and inertia

complacent stand reverted because....a competitor went sick..decision seems a reaction. and that's what the corporate and political organizations seem to be doing...reacting...a successful product everybody want to market...so everybody falls flat when the product fails...no originality what so ever...your trade mark poem sandra..... 'fresh air and ideas were very soon in short supply almost everyone was gasping for breath' these lines...when the door was closed and just a small opening with slow decision making ....a lovely two level thought....actually the staffs were feeling low...lovely poem

The Top guys are not in touch with reality many a time and any suggestions from the lower quarters are ignored. Only an open mind can succeed in tough times. Nice write...........10
