Good GM or Bad BM - Old GM or "New"?
Will GM change it's logo to green or leave it blue?
Can the Company change it's culture or a leopard change it's spots?
Will we insist upon success before rewarding those on top?
Our products have become passe', we follow, rarely lead.
GM builds megatons of cars the public does not need.
It would be nice if GM design put customers needs first
maybe a little less horsepower and some place to put her purse.
A working man might need a van, not just a box on wheels
a vehicle that meets his many needs, including style and "feel"
Not everyone drives Nascar or has fifty thou to spend
on leather and Bose, and chrome for show and other senseless trim.
Must top execs still draw more pay than a thousand working men?
Will labor continue to sacrifice while management rakes it in?
Will GM close more U.S. plants, harming workers and our towns
and move it all to China just to keep their own costs down?
Has GM lost it's loyalty, it's vision and market share,
only to see their precious profits vanish in thin air?
"New GM" can change it's logo, slogans and ad campaigns
close more plants, cheat new investors, make workers take the blame,
get "Lean & Mean", and talk all "Green", and bonus themselves insane,
but don't expect too much success, if Management doesn't change.
And if top brass must take first dibs and workers get the dregs,
and GM pays it's vendors late, breaks contracts, and reneges,
on warranties, and profit share, retirees and their health care,
leaving customers, investors, and car dealers in despair,
and quarterly earnings and bottom lines are all we ever hear,
then "New GM" will fail again and nobody will care.
