Bad late capitalist poetry
Project just landed
It will bring so much value
To our shareholders
----
We found alien monolith
Still emitting its message
After millions of years
To this day we wonder
How could they plan
Timescale longer than 4 quarters

We found alien monolith
Still emitting its message
After millions of years
How shortsighted
Think of the possible revenue
From the maintenance contract
Bad late capitalist poetry
This small risk is acceptable
It's just a possibility of
Catastrophic damage
Happening after
My performance bonus is due
---
This small risk is acceptable
Good income now
Somebody else will pay
For the fallout
