Quietly the beast sits in a corner Chewing on a bone Its own How much longer The question begs Can it keep chewing on its own legs?

Sorry, I don't picture this beast.

I understand. I was angry that day. A company I worked for had fired an associate of mine (did the same to me a few months later). It is about "downsizing", shedding staff, losing FTE's. How long can a company continue letting people go before there is nothing left of the company? My apologies. The poem obviously needs work....but the anger has gone so I fear it will remain as is.
