The Corporates have taken ethic
\nout of their equation,
\nperhaps have reconstructed
\nits meaning to include
\nMorality and hypocrisy, calling them subjective
\nHiding in the nether regions
\nconstrued by some as crude
\nSurely as a principle
\nthey ought to have reflected
\non all the salient points
\nsurrounding cargo they permit
\nAnd by so doing openly
\nadvertise parameters

This is another look at the question of morality and hypocrisy in the world of corporate shipments, surely if airlines collectively ban the shipment of trapped primates for experimentation the trade would cease overnight.But then the trapper the shipper and the laboratory are all parties to this insanity licensed by their respective governments and no doub’t supported by their electorate Continue reading
