Status and Quo called a meeting
To review things one more time
Status ensured that t’s were crossed
And Quo dotted every i
They required committee
After Committee
To make detailed presentations
Status and Quo commissioned such
Reports to provide
Ongoing validation
Status and Quo made
That the way things are
Is the way things
Would always remain
They weren’t charmed by data
So if the data did not jive
With Status and Quo’s agenda
Then the data was revised
To Status and Quo reality
Was putty in their hands
But one day reality teamed up with facts
And unleashed an wicked plan
New facts flooded Status and Quo
And began to rock the boat
Hunkered down behind their ego moat
They weren’t about to surrender power
They weren’t about to bow
So they called in reinforcements
Called fair haired boys and sacred cows
They thwarted all reform
They repelled all transformation
They sabotaged new hires
They even threatened litigation
And in the end
Status and Quo
Silenced the blasphemy
So things remained
The way things were
The way they were
Meant to be

Malen,
ReplyDeleteDo you think status and quo are real creations? Or just imagined?
I think I create status and quo in my mind to avoid courageous acts and to avoid the fear of failure
Agreed ststus and quo are tied to powerful MEFs. Status quo is not always negative, but when it leads to atrophy they can become deadly.It takes courage to move beyond what is familiar and comfortable but its the only way we grow and evolve. Thanks for your comments.
