[What's happening in world business is going to happen all the time. Why not? We are humans! ] br br Eternal Bliss of the Sapient Mind br br Ethics: Your time’s done, br Commerce now plays in the sun. br Business is the Chosen One – br You’re being taught for fun….. br br Surely, Wisdom in all its glory, br Must have a contrary story: br Morality has proved to be desultory, br Good practices are h-i-s-t-o-ry! br br When integrity goes for a toss, br Profit makes up for the loss; br Now this might appear pure dross, br But you’ve many a bridge to cross. br br The ‘seven have-its’ of highly defective people, br Are effective habits made simple, br So you do mock at the evangelical, br And embrace Mammon’s Principle. br br Lakshmi’s journey is the destination: br At what price education? br The invisible hand is the motivation; br What’s left for salvation? br br There’s misfortune at the pyramid’s top; br It trickles down and doesn’t stop. br At the bottom it gets hot; br Greasy palms at a lot…. br br Now there’s wonder all round: br The champion bidder is truly crowned; br Specious arguments now abound, br Hypotheses propped on shaky grounds…... br br Don’t be done in by the Reaper, br Be thy own conscience keeper; br Even if you might teeter, br Betwixt sophistry and truth-seeker.
