Ahead for business

Listless as a swaying copper cobra,
Corporate ethics slip in dozing cracks of judgment.
Governance, accounting, even 'synergy'
Sync with every rocking flick of (serpentine) twisting tongue.

Can you hear the hiss,
The near miss of righted wrong,
The slap of slighted justice and 
A murmur in the throng?

This moment, this measure of decisions,
Sliding further down the gilded scales of
Greed 
Is
Signat(ure) song.
