The Big Picture

Just what is this 'Big Picture', that
Some people talk about?
A term oft' used by management
When trying to use some clout.

They say that we don't understand
The thinking of the day,
That we're just here to do our jobs,
To work and get our pay.

They think they have enlightenment,
And always know what's best,
"Let's look at the 'Big Picture'", as
They treat us all with jest.

But sometimes 'The Big Picture', is
A very big excuse,
For seeing problems from afar,
And letting thoughts run loose.

Like looking at the earth from space,
"It looks okay down there,"
It's only as you look up close,
You see just how it fares.

It's time the 'Big Boys' looked up close,
To see how it is done,
And bowed their heads to shield their eyes
From the glaring of their sun.
