Company for Company...

I met a man, a very old man
He told me his plan to start a company
I asked why
Why don’t you just have fun and die
You’ve worked hard now go be the family bard
He said it’s too hard
I am sad and lonely and want company only
When I was young I made a journey
A very long journey
It has lasted so long it took me away from my own
Now I wear a white collar
And swear by the dollar
America has made me stand taller
I tasted the Apple then fell from the grace

My family is sad
I don’t love my wife
My kid is a moron I ruined his life
He's between fiction and facts but no poetry
I've made him sterile, just like me

I hate my people and make them feel bad
I tell them tall stories
Make them dream of unachievable glory
I confess I’m vicious, very very vicious
This habit of mine has taken its toll
I have a lot of money but no friends at all
But in my own country I can buy company

So here is my plan
I will start a company
Hire young people
And tell them my jokes
If they don’t lie
I will show them the door

I said best wishes but no company works like that
The old man got serious and said my dear lad
Who cares about the company as long as I have company
If it works nice else it’s still a beautiful compromise

So he had no company.
