Jolting Innovation (New York Times)


Jolting Innovation

Declined outlook
weighed down
shouted down
by the misjudging weak.

Keep going
tighten the reins.

Jolted
Growing
Cutting

Making big cuts to everything.
Cutting waste, fraud, abuse
Cutting signs of weakness
that could slow and crimp the recovery.

We won't bring the down the curtain
don't fall out from the fight.
Set off investigations
Grab the headlines.
We're not at the end
We're at the beginning.

Think a bit about how
this world
should be changed.
We need a mind like his
to push, to be precise,
to glow.

The torch has been passed
Congratulations, have fun.
