#NPM2012: Prompt 19 | Bud the Teacher — Ad: http://t.co/SZPi0Zi2 – Story: http://t.co/MlrANH3F
In the corner of the board next to the algorithms and computations
is where I scribbled my name when no one was looking –
I left a little piece of me here in this meeting room
as you droned on and on about price fluctuations
and market caps and other nonsense that made my mind wander
just a little bit.
Just finished another week of state testing, so I’m feeling just a tad jaded…
Empty room –
Empty words deface the board
Decisions made by those
With no real understanding of the
Day to day existence of those
Living in the trenches
They smiled
Pontificated
Swaggered and strutted
Buzz words swarming
New directives
New incentives
New penalties
Created
Another swing
Tick
Tock
of the pendulum
Tick
Tock
But who will really pay?
Is there anything like
a long boring meeting
finally ended
to rekindle dreams
of “School’s out!”
an energy has disappeared
tables cleared and chairs left empty
but thinking minds were left behind
scribed for future conversations
yet stalled until the lights go out
modern ideas
recorded on an old fashioned black board
a record of thoughts and ideas,
to be interpreted by the next visitor
seemed so important at the time
but I bet
the room is empty
because someone finally looked out the window,
noticed the sun
and realized walking together talking
would solve issues in a more productive way
