The Bottom Line

by Terri Lyn Stanfield

Copyright:  4/14/2001


You've reached the point

Of no return

Left too many

Old bridges burned

You turned your back

On your old friends

Concerned only

With dividends

And tending your

Portfolio

Your only care

How far you'd go

I always thought

That you'd regret

What you'd done....but

You haven't yet

You've reached the top

At such great cost

But you don't know

What you have lost

Or is it just

That you don't care

For all it took

To get you there

You're not the same

As you once were

You're cold and hard

And act the cur

You may have won

The money game

But you have lost

Yourself the same

That human part

That made you real

That gave you hope

That made you feel

You've become an

Automaton

No emotion

Just focused on

The bottom line

And getting there

No matter if

It's foul or fair

The sad thing is

You've no idea

The tragic cost

Of your career
