Esther’s Writing Prompt

I’m the chairman of the board

Don’t think of me as master or lord

I’ll rule as honestly as I can

Every day of my four year span

Ignore men in uniform with guns

They won’t bother you or your little ones

They simply want to keep the peace

If taken you’ll soon be released

It’s a check for skin I like

No black or brown, only white

After you’re checked may be detained

I’m chairman and it is my reign

Uh, excuse my language, and it’s content

I’m only the president.

(I’m bored by the board and the chairman’s a fraud and I’ll only applaud if he falls on his sword)

By definition there’s no fraud
When you’re the Chairman of the Board
And though the business be in tatters
Your opinion’s all that matters
Profits slumped and losses soared
No cause to fall upon your sword
Stand your ground. Stay safe and sound
Wait for things to turn around
Please feel loved. Don’t feel ignored
Don’t leave the room on my accord
We are one. We are like brothers
Look around at all the others
We love the business don’t forget
Of course there’s things that we regret
But if your friends don’t like the smell
Then tell your friends to go to hell
‘Cause this ain’t funny. Money. Money!
In the land of milk and honey
And when it ceases to be fun
We’ll take the money. Then we’ll run.
