A L O H A !
In the beginning
was pure barter,
sharing, clan.
The first salesmen
came along,
selling ideas;
Nothing else
needed selling.
" I am chief "
was an early favorite.
" Believe
in my gods."
Was closely related.
One who is selling
uses what works.
Any motivator
will do
if it succeeds.
" Convert or die "
worked.
And any " Facts"
a salesman uses
are just that:
Being used,
pimped-out,
just the way you like
to hear them;
Tilted just so.
I'm tired of being
pitched, sold, convinced,
misdirected
by slant.
How about
Y O U ?
So if Honesty sells,
what is it selling?
Perhaps:
" Win - Win "
&
" Sustainability "
in place of very few
winners-taking-all?
But the selling
and convincing
rolls, rolls along:
" Up UP!
with those who fleece
and disrespect us,
driving us to be wolves
at our neighbors door
and fools
at our own.
And those with a heart,
a voice,
a talent to help?
Put the blame on THEM!
[Ask Socrates or Jesus]
While shysters laugh
behind golden doors
in their thinning,
artificial
pompadours.
(Yeah; I'm looking at YOU
trump!)
Thanks for listening
to my rant.
We now return you to the world-as-it-is,
already in progress.
Your comments are like drugs to me,
help me out, Man!
Warmly, cloudia
