Epigram For Business

A corporation in an artificial

body, imagined by corporate law.

Right from the moment of its initial

public offering it has a hungry maul.

It shambles about as one of the rotten undead,

and sees life only in terms of black and red.

Profits, not prophets, is all it cares for---

as shallow in morals as a two dollar whore.

In the sixth line, these colors of ink were used to desginate profit or loss when account books were kept in handwriting.
