Corporate Conversion

The corporation offers logo wear

Dazzling subsidized cafes

State of the art fitness centers

They bring the dentist, dry cleaners 

And hair stylist to you

No need to leave our campus

Ever! Never! Never!

You won’t be able to resist

“Resistance is futile” sayeth the Borg

But do strive to maintain 

A healthy work/life balance!

Productivity depends on it!

We are a big happy family!

With a bottom line


You won’t see it coming

You won’t know it’s happening

A slow chronic progression to blindness

Like whiskey, the collective seduces you

Along the way you will be anointed 

With undeniable proof of your value:

Bonuses and stock options land in your lap

Awards and AmEx gift cards appear on your desk

Until you can no longer abjure 

‘Tis best to surrender and demur

You have incorporated into the corporation

Your cultish obedience has turned 

To Stockholm Syndrome

There, there now...Reeeeeeeeeeelllaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxx

Don’t struggle! Do abide! 

There, there now...doesn’t that feel better?
