Echelons Of Power



The workers are the lifeline of an enterprise,
The caretaker can only organise the workers,
The owner aprises and  directs the caretaker,
But when the fruits of fortune are against the winds ,
And cannot be borne by the workers,
Then utter chaos and riot reigns ,
No words of solace  from the caretaker nor numero uno,
are able to pour balm over the wounds,
of the unfulfilled hearts which are a many,
It is then that our faiths are tested,
 of self,camaraderie,the enterprise as whole;
For there in lies the true echelons of power.
