Corporate Garden

In the corporate garden
you are always given choices.
In fact, the denizens of the garden
extoll their life of choices.

The choices are of products
and the means by which you buy them.
Shiny lifestyle choice is fixed in aspect, 
and on the list, morality, is not an item.

In the corporate garden
you are asked to bite an apple, 
and the results, of course, when
you bite you're heaven's double.

In the corporate garden
you'll learn a brand new tongue
to replace your ancient heathen
one that sings your family song.

In the corporate garden
your time will always be filled
to drive out leisure time when
contrary thoughts are formed.

In the corporate garden
you will compete with your
own brothers to win
your corporate goals.

In the corporate garden
community is a banned word, 
instead teamwork's enforced when
weaker brothers get the sword.

In the corporate garden
the apple you will bite,
and drive out of the garden
all of those who are not "right"
