[What's happening in world business is going to happen all the time. Why not? We are humans! ] <br /> <br />Eternal Bliss of the Sapient Mind <br /> <br />Ethics: Your time’s done, <br />Commerce now plays in the sun. <br />Business is the Chosen One – <br />You’re being taught for fun….. <br /> <br />Surely, Wisdom in all its glory, <br />Must have a contrary story: <br />Morality has proved to be desultory, <br />Good practices are h-i-s-t-o-ry! <br /> <br />When integrity goes for a toss, <br />Profit makes up for the loss; <br />Now this might appear pure dross, <br />But you’ve many a bridge to cross. <br /> <br />The ‘seven have-its’ of highly defective people, <br />Are effective habits made simple, <br />So you do mock at the evangelical, <br />And embrace Mammon’s Principle. <br /> <br />Lakshmi’s journey is the destination: <br />At what price education? <br />The invisible hand is the motivation; <br />What’s left for salvation? <br /> <br />There’s misfortune at the pyramid’s top; <br />It trickles down and doesn’t stop. <br />At the bottom it gets hot; <br />Greasy palms at a lot…. <br /> <br />Now there’s wonder all round: <br /> The champion bidder is truly crowned; <br />Specious arguments now abound, <br />Hypotheses propped on shaky grounds…... <br /> <br />Don’t be done in by the Reaper, <br />Be thy own conscience keeper; <br />Even if you might teeter, <br />Betwixt sophistry and truth-seeker. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © SC <br />06th December 2006 <br />Mumbai<br /><br />Subroto Chatterjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eternal-bliss-of-the-sapient-mind/
