Corporate Trade

Business adjuncts realities curve
the agitation resting on pure nerve
so downcast that the rule of faith's un swerve
whereas but cowardice, the vestige serve!

As so the storing of the time's abrade
self-centered, the reliance follows trade
that backing off relents to corporate made
and humankind becomes the instrument's blade!

So propitious in its dealing's staid
the future, waft of trial, becomes enslave,
buying grandeur, exclusively on parade
with world control, commensurate with aid!

This timeless art, chicanery's mistrust brave
that warning's deafened forecast, rules the grave!
