Even though that the bonuses so much discussed these days are a mere one percent of the big picture, the concept resonates with the people. It surely detracts fro the big picture and takes the focus on the side show – nothing new in this media driven environment.
On the way home I listened to some of my German hip hop guru’s latest lyrics and like to offer the translation. Very appropriate!
Die Fantastischen Vier, Hey:
“I have seen many that have come and fail, for whatever goal they represent, no matter how many there are… they bow and knee down.. they swallow and spit to get dressed anew. They lie under bridges and Regency suites, offer their souls only to expose themselves as losers, thought of themselves as the best only to unfold as the bottom of the barrel just to fail and try it again... …; never to understand, where the goal is heading, all these games they are thinking they play, even on their knees they did not realise they had fallen. One million ways to give away your life… you cannot escape me, but don’t rush towards me!!!
Your life turns out to be fallen into its pieces! All the millions, all the investments and good intentions! All the best, house with balcony, lavish parties with 1000 persons. You are everyone friend, never missed a name. Always perfect, sun tanned…everyone’s dream…no question what you can afford, but having no dreams scares you the most… Must be the centre at any cost, getting high from anything…no one may see that you are fragile, because you are all ugly when even your reflection in the mirror is destructible… the years pass by, you try to hold on to them! Surgery and chemistry for a world without faults…lifted on the outside, poisoned from within…sorry, your time here is limited!!!
You do not know how much time is left. Bette be ready anytime!”
Indeed. Nothing we can do! Pretend all you want… life goes on. With or without you !!!
