People, organizations, churches, the government, and corporations never want to hear
The truth, ideas, and criticism for fear
Of change, due to the status quo
That and fear is all that they know!
You might get new computers, software, or even a different type of report
But you’ll be met with disbelief whenever you decide to retort
The way that things have always been
During your next Bible study, challenge the word of God and you will surely offend
All of your sisters and brothers will accuse you of heresy and sin
Healthcare for all and reparations for the descendants of slaves?
Rather generational debt and unmarked graves
During your next work meeting Q&A, share a novel idea or pivot
That may improve the build or sales of your company’s services or widgets
You’ll be thanked for your feedback and told ‘that’s not how our competition does it’
Besides, it would take years to implement and it’s way beyond the scope of our fiscal year budget!
You can’t quit and launch the idea on your own
So another great idea dies, as a deleted note on your company phone.
