The Spin Game
The Spin Game
or
Thumbing the Scale
Thoughts for 1/28/2016
Written: by Tom Wright
I’ve dined from both sides of this pancake,
And it’s all about acquiring our desires.
Many are inclined to twist things
In order to gain a competitive advantage;
I’ve been party to many “dog and pony” shows,
And expected to suck it up
Like a hungry Hog slurping from a trough;
On whatever level of life I’ve been found,
The behind the scene politicking had been done.
A board or inner circle had usually decided,
How the vote would go long before it was taken.
That causes me to question, what is transparency?
What is honesty, what is truth?
When casting nay votes it has opened me up to all sorts of criticism.
But never face to face.
Tom
