The Corporate Condition

Folder: 
Thought For Food

Since, apparently,
It's long been determined
That a corporation
Is a living, breathing person
Isn't it time we ask
What does it profit a corporation
If it gains the whole world,
But loses it soul?

 

And isn't it time we arrest
Each INC. involved in corruption,
Human rights violations -
Some even murder

 

On racketeering
Freeze the profits
And lock away
The whole headquarters
With every person guilty
Of making profit by dealing
With this cartel leader
...this person
Call the corporation

 

Isn't it time..?

 

Then we can answer the question
It's long been time to ask
What does it profit a corporation
If it gains the whole world,
And stop right there
Because the answer becomes "it doesn't!"
In the world that gave the corporation life
We'd finally given it, also, prison
Welcome to the human condition,
Corporate person

Trial By Caveat

.

Death by fine print or capitalization punishment. Anti-Trust is the corporate assassin. Sacred internet still not taxed. Make it retroactive. American Revolution - turn it all off one day a week. Death by impoverished consumerlessness. 

.

Supply chain breaks - death by missing micro-chip soul. Talent theft and home grown nationalism - hmmmmm . . . INC, LLC, Non-Profit, the whole band of gypsies. Give fossil fuel corporations the poetic justice gas chamber. 
.

As fun as this is, Critical Manufacturing and Service Theory: Enforce laws, no monopolies. The people in control - a neato idea.
