Glenn, I wasn't sure how this one would come across. It was intended as a satiric critique of how the emphasis on maximizing profit has warped the way businesses treat their workers. I've worked in private businesses, government agencies, and academia; all of them abused and exploited workers at some level, though I was most shocked by what happened when the business model was applied to education. I'm still not sure that it works as a poem, but I was glad to hear that it seemed to work for you.
