There are people in the know; there are people that are blessed <br />These are the people whom, we want to tap what they profess <br />Their wisdom is sought, their ideas lead to success <br />Think-tankers and the shapers, you have always shown finesse <br /> <br />The think-tankers of an institution <br /> Are those who provide the ultimate solution <br />They lead the staff to a revolution <br />Giving vision with fine elocution <br /> <br />They are not alone to chart the growth <br />All staff joins in, they say the oath <br />They silently pledge, failure they loath <br />Not a moment is allowed for anyone to sloth <br /> <br />Think-tankers are creatures of special breed <br />Speedy ideas thrown are brilliant indeed <br />They also harbor some elements of greed <br />In any rebuttal they do not concede <br /> <br />The life of a think-tanker does not last <br />At odd moment, ambition turns to lust <br />When that happens the staff is aghast <br />The time is up, to step down he is asked <br /> <br /> <br />This poem was inspired after the news on the downfall of world-renown personality who was asked to step down after a scandal<br /><br />Noor Othman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wisdom-dictum-and-schism/
