The Wizard's Work

You see,
How it works is we
Do some magic math to show
That which our dreams already know -
We're fabulous and gaining ground,
Profits secure, salaries sound.
You're right,
There's been a slight
Trickle down delay in effect.
Our bonuses and stock shares reflect
All the same woes as those who wail
And our losses top the money scale.
You know,
Any One could go
Move to greener pastures for
That salary if you ignore
Their wizardly worth
For giving ideas girth.
Yeah sure,
We could conjure
A less selfish structure,
But the current culture would rupture.
Then how would jealousy motivate?
(Our potions for that aren't as great.)
