Ego Dissolution 

Ears and nerves sicken at the ever-creaking, 
Ever-upward ratchet of productivity:
Management aghast when we push for a works council.

We have failed to grasp the terminal paradox at the 
Heart of corporate ego dissolution:
You are we, and we are you.

Caricature commissioned when management buys out the 
Company portrays them as clownish dervishes: 
CCO now a grinning minstrel whom in life I knew as that
Dour, ghoulish amalgam of Nurse Ratched and
Miss Jean Brodie.

I've been reading about DMT studies where people report ego dissolution experiences. What's fascinating is some describe feeling permanently changed afterward - less attached to their sense of self.
