The Gospel According To Continuing Improvements

(SHOP FLOOR) There stands the multitude many heads like stepping stones hearts that beat a depressed rhythm row upon row upon row. The square in reverberation sways to a pungent tone unity upon each and every lip! “We’ll strike for evermore.” They chant. “Stay out for eternity.” They quip! (BOARDROOM) “We’ll break the buggers, confuse them one and all split them down the middle then take them as they fall. For working man, to himself an enigma a fool for all to see, no adversary in this world given freedom no master as yet willing to give the key!” © Harry J Horsman 1997

I am not sure if this is where I left off for rereads, but I sure am glad I came upon this one again. One of my favorites of yours. For the poor working man YOU are their spokesman.

Dear Harry, I like the way YOU write it as it truely is. At the Culinary school I was suppose to bow down to the powers that be, even if it meant my students would lose vital skills. I was branded a Rebel. I worked there for 12 years under much scrutiny. A Masterpiece of class warfare. LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry
