WE, THE BUSINESSMEN

We, The Businessmen

We are conspicuous

We are handsome

We prepare lunches for you

We hold on some ransom

What maybe be, will be

What should be, can’t be

What is the most likely

Happens to be often, mostly

We represent no future

We are the past principles

We take down your affairs

I hope you’ve guessed us by now

Yes, we are all businessmen

And we work for you

We make you succeed

While you play it safe

We will cut open our wounds

We will swim in molten salt

We will get what you need

We’ll get you whatever you want

We make you plainly happy

We make you sorry sad

When you’re happy, we’re ecstatic

When you’re sad, we’re downsizing

Leave all your affairs to us

We will handle all that for you

You can go on long vacations

While we walk your dog

We are the foundation you stand on

we’re distraught all the time

We are completely disposable

So totally corruptible

We will slob through weekends

We will sleep on no night

Awake when you are resting

Making presentations till late

Please stop to humour us

That is our ultimate prize

We strive for you to succeed

Even while we start to bleed
