Roses are red, yet the workers now sigh,
Centene's cost-cutting made their hopes run dry.

Management's decisions made them wonder why,
Betrayed and downcast, under a cloudy sky.

Centene's cold choice,
Workers' hearts heavy with woe,
Betrayed, they now grieve.

Avaricious

Chasing the dollar,
Greed has eaten their souls. Go
Rot in your tower.

Centene's tale, a workforce reduced,
Two thousand souls, their roles unloosed.
In profits' shadow, they sought to trim,
Amidst health plans' vast, and futures dim.

Competition's fire, a challenge faced,
CEO's vision, assets embraced.
With routine reflection, choices fair,
Centene's path forged with thoughtful care.

They buried da ph--ka at sea
I'm so glad it wasn't me
Though I, too, failed to deliver
What they extracted wasn't my liver

Centene's executives,
Renting stadiums to fire workers,
Morale has sunk low.

In the realm where profits soar,
A shadow sometimes lurks, for sure,
Behind the polished corporate face,
A darker truth, a hidden space.

In boardrooms high, decisions made,
Sometimes ethics start to fade,
When greed takes hold, integrity lost,
The human cost, a heavy cost.

But let us not forget the just,
Who stand against this tainted trust,
Seeking transparency and right,
To mend the world, bring back the light.

For corporations have the power,
To uplift lives in every hour,
When driven by a noble quest,
They can truly be at their best.

Let's hope for change, a better way,
Where ethics guide the choices made each day,
In a world where profit and goodwill unite,
We can build a future that's truly bright.

In Centene's halls, workers in despair,
Executives thrive, wealth beyond compare.

Layoffs loom, no care for those who toil,
Once great, now marred by greed and spoil.

In the heart of Centene's corporate domain,
A tale of injustice and workers' pain,
Executives thrived as workers toiled in despair,
In a world where greed filled the air.

The executives' fortunes, a towering stack,
While workers' hopes were beginning to crack.
Two thousand layoffs, a cruel decree,
Executives safe, their wealth running free.

Bonuses bloomed, like flowers in spring,
As workers felt the weight of their sting.
No one listened to the workers' plight,
In the shadow of profits, they lost their light.

A stadium rented, a stage so grand,
Executives gathered, with power in hand.
To deliver the news that would shatter their dreams,
In the place they once loved, now torn at the seams.

The CEO, once a beacon of hope,
Turned out to be leading them down a steep slope.
Promises broken, trust cast aside,
In the Centene saga, the workers' tears couldn't hide.

News leaked to the media, a story untold,
Before management's announcement, a tale of old.
Executives embarrassed, their secrets laid bare,
As the world saw Centene's unjust affair.

Demoralized workers, hearts heavy with strife,
Lost faith in a once-promising life.
In the shadow of greed, they toiled in vain,
Centene's legacy tarnished by corporate disdain.

But in the darkness, a flicker of hope,
As workers united, determined to cope.
They'd fight for their rights, for justice to reign,
To restore what they'd lost in the corporate chain.

In this ballad, their voices rise strong,
A testament to resilience, against all wrong.
Centene's story, a lesson so clear,
That when workers unite, change draws near.

Amidst Centene's once-promising domain,
Executives thrived while workers felt the strain.
Riches amassed, bonuses on high,
As workers suffered, wondering why,
Layoffs loomed, their livelihoods in wane.

No empathy shown, no worker's plea,
In a stadium, executives decreed,
A grim fate for the staff, so cruel,
A once-great place, now a dismal rule,
Where workers' dreams fade into the sea.

Centene, a story of corporate greed,
Where workers' needs were never heeded.

In Centene's halls, once oh so fine,
Execs count their riches, oh they feast and dine,
While workers grow poor,
Layoffs at the door,
A great place now lost in decline.
