In the corporate world of the lost
  Where innocence is tossed
Like a leaf into the wind
  To fend for itself again.
My option was not renewed
  Nor my friends, we all were screwed.
And now we look again
  For shelter from the wind.
A simple digit hides the shame
  Of a crafter's secret game.
All the money formed in trust
  Is now gone, the bank is BUST.
All the time and effort wasted
  While someone else the fruits have tasted.
All in all it seems a shame
  We were caught up in the game.
Now we all will pay the price
  For someone else's paradise.

Chivalry is not dead. I saw it coughing up lung butter last night, but it was still alive. I think it has parvo.

This is wonderful...you should send it to all your WorldCom coworkers. I hope things work out for you....it's always the people at the middle and bottom of the ladder that get the shaft!

...pay the price for someone else's paradise...that's the right line. Amazing how that's the way it always seems to work.

...and may Martha Stewart get runners in her hose throughout eternity..

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Rob, this is so very sad, sweet friend, my heart goes out to these many workers and it angers me so how some people who worked in the company hid their huge losses only to make many others suffer before trying to make a big turn-around! (sad sigh) My heart goes out to all these unemployed workers, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rob, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
