Straw or Gold?

Consultants aren’t the people who
enable gains to soar
that vital task is handed to
the ones that you keep poor

they’re forced to work around the fools
you keep parading through
that brag about their former schools
but never seem to do

a single thing to help the team
that’s truly worth a damn
while you surrender gobs and beam
deluded by the scam.

Remember when you count your stacks
you’re ever in the debt
of those with tired aching backs
awash in honest sweat

and the lower that you make them feel
the quicker they’ll find a way
to handicap your spinning wheel
and really make you pay.
