Simple Logic

In today’s world, simple logic
is forgotten for greed.
In an endeavour to save money,
most bosses think from the bottom
for cost cutting measures.
However, they forget one thing
by removing the foundations
a structure will tumble and fall.
Many of those with so-called brains
forget that simple logic
to ensure they do not lose
their extravagant perks.
It is only when like Jericho
the walls start to crumble
around them and it is too late
they remember the simple logic.
You prune a tree from the top
not cut away the roots.
