A eulogy for a “bright future”

Barbara L'Huillier

Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2012, vol. 25, issue 3, 574-575

Abstract: Purpose - This poem aims to present a reflection on the bigger picture of how powerless people are in reality to safeguard their own futures. Design/methodology/approach - It is a fictional poem. Findings - The poet considers how outside forces devalue the traditional approaches people have taken towards trying to insulate themselves from life's storms. Originality/value - This is a unique attempt to look at how people are given a false sense of security regarding the methods people should adopt to safeguard themselves and their families against financial ruin.
