Abstain from temperance
Be gluttonous
Lust after success
Steal
Cheat
Pridefully repeat
Treat theft
As a self-serving charity
Lie when it serves
Be prudent with your words
Rationalize the truth
Make greed a food group
Thank you, Dora and the dVerse Team! I hope I got it right! 🙂

Remember when people looked back and wondered how Hitler was allowed to get away with the things he did….? It seems like people don’t…
bam! right out of the gate with “ Abstain from temperance” and not letting up all through the poem. sounds like something we voted for
Thank you! 🙏
First-rate satire on corporate culture, Sam, and how they rationalize their unethical practices, this especially:
“Treat theft
As a self-serving charity” —
I can almost see these instructions gold-framed over their various mantels. “Make greed a food group.” Oh man. They wouldn’t choke on that one but take it as a nutritional insight.
Thank you! 😊
