Rap all the lies in your cozy old pillow, Disguise all your micro irritations in a mask of content, Never muddle your left, writes and wrongs By the power of personality, a dwarf can stand above any fence. A mouthful of brussels sprouts never hurt anyone, Just don't hold them in if you're about to explode, Salesmen have bad reputations as society's thugs, They laze in nature and pounce to lie, deceive and cheat, Though you can take care of your growing lips and expanding tongue, As a bad salesmen reborn into the heist of redemption, Knowing that deceiving simply deceives those deceiving, While our words are the truths in which we are judged. |

Potential can of worms this. The idealized version of capitalism has proud manufacturers wanting to put out a quality product or an industry considerate service. All a very Currier and Ives picture. Such attitude would make a salesman's job easy for conviction in what you represent can always look in the mirror at night. The new reality has weasels squeezing everyone from suppliers to customers and trust me, the attitude you encounter on the salesfloor/showroom directly reflects that of the owners. The salesperson is merely the glove they use to keep their hands clean. The overiding concept of the ten commandments centers on "coveting" but corporate greed has run this country since Big Oil/CIA put the Shah in charge of a major oil field in 1953. I was in sales for over 20 years and know that the one word that sums up our new age is "control." Control the salesman to control the customer. Get the money. Entities like WalMart squeeze manufacturers to supply cheaper and so they cut quality and pay less. Complain and they "outsource." But let us not concern ourselves so long as our electricity is running and the cable is hooked up. Just pop a pill (don't bother with the warnings/disclaimers) and either worship a movie star or attend a millionares sporting event in a stadium named for a corporation. The problem goes way beyond any control a salesperson has. To blame them for this rampant greed is like blaming danderuff on dandilions. POETS AGAINST THE WAR IS REDUNDANT |
