Corporate Suicide

© Nicholas Vosper 2003

I took the long walk,
a single sheet of paper
in my hand, an illegible signature
giving it more weight
than you could imagine.

I passed the desks
and they gawped
like peasants at the guillotine,
there is revolution afoot.

No, let us not romanticise
this thing. It is simple economics
take the money and run
whilst you still can, volunteer

before the compulsory blade
lops off your head and removes
all choice, pay off, and dignity,
and it is all cut and dried.
