The Amazon Way Poem by DM W

The Amazon Way

Rating: 5.0


It's the Amazon Way:
One click of a button
And you can purchase
A fragment of your dreams.

It's the Amazon Way
Customers are kings & queens;
Living it up everyday:
In consumer heaven.

It's the Amazon Way:
All light & shiny surfaces;
Designed to conceal
The company's dubious workings.

It's the Amazon Way:
A unionised work force not allowed.
Rather an assembly line culture of modern slaves;
Constant surveillance & new forms of Taylorism.

It's the Amazon Way:
Warehouses are re-branded as 'fulfilment' centres
Yet there is sporadic lighting
And no air conditioning.

It's the Amazon Way:
Workers don't steal precious time:
Three strikes and you're out!

It's the Amazon Way:
Make a huge profit anyway you can
The ends justify the means every time.

The Amazon Way
