To the people at the next table talking about their adult children

I’d just like you to know
That I’m 
Super-successful 

I’ve never killed anyone
Based on what my company
Has manufactured

I’ve never ruined anyone’s
Life 
Based on my family’s ambitions

I’ve never sent anyone into
Therapy based on 
Broken promises

I’ve never left anyone
Questioning the meaning 
Of their life 

Based on
A quest for 
Endless acquisition
