House of Lies
One lone eagle spies
a dilapidated mansion
sitting up on a hilltop,
desolate of all human life.
The rooms all stand empty.
Everything is devoid of color except
for that of a faded blue frame
lying smashed on the floor.
This mansion once
used to be something.
It housed a large family
of well-known hard workers.
And they all revered the father.
However over the years
the children all went
every which way.
Losing their sense of ethics
and morally decaying
from the inside out.
Due to poor decisions made.
And now there it stands,
a reminder of the glory it once held.
Sadly the eagle flys away
with one tear in his eye.

Many corporations are like families, don't you think? They can be toxic to the core. Unfortunately many of them are falling by the wayside due to unethical decisions and toxic work environments. They talk a good talk but they don't really walk their talk. Sometimes it's best to leave a company like this for your own personal health. Whether it be your choice or not, you are better off without them. I used to work for a company like this. Thank goodness I don't work there any longer.
