Brainstorming

(The modern way to take the credit for someone else’s ideas) Innocent minds, virgin thoughts all within a collective breeding ground, stage upon stage the master’s philosophy to be acted out. His! To nurture, to alter, to steal, personalities to change, ideas to strive for, directions to enforce. This by the new breed, created from the production line of progression. Those the arrogant ones, reared in such cynical ways, their curriculum brimming with intellect, yet without the power to reason. Those blessed with the forked tongue, the worthless hand shake, the insincere parody that lingers within the web of verbal trash. © Harry J Horsman 2010

Thought-provoking. How we rob big banks and MNCs, and even take the stapes from the office - with ENTITLEMENT. Your poem remins me that Dale Carnegie & positive thinking gurus, ended up with nervous breakdowns: taking from Jesus, just His ideas, but LITTLE POSITIVE LIVING. shalom, shalom & thans 4 reading even this comment. Unless He does, I have 0

Well expressed Harry. I've bled out on the brainstorm drawing board too. Not much fun. Very good write.

How total machiavellian, Harry. Love it. Your subtitle "The modern way to take the credit for someone else’s ideas"... priceless. I thoroughly enjoyed - brought me back to the good old days of being an enthusiastic and naive sucker.

Truths come out...unfortunately, this is what can happen but, you have brought it to light in a very well penned piece of work.

There can be some great ideas that come out but not always credit given to the one who thought of them in the first place:-) hugs Jan xx
