Beware of experts who pontificate
Use statistics to obfuscate
Take your money while they smile
Propose easy fixes with a smooth style
Quick answers to hard questions
While they incorporate your suggestions

Consultants are a strange breed
Driven by power and subtle greed
A few stand above the rest
Give of themselves and do their best
To bring information honest and true
By pure offers of help just for you

Therapists promise reunification
Of lost selves with information
Lay on the couch and tell us your past
They try to make sense while the money lasts
Dysfunction a buzzword for the nineties
Labels that dehumanize the sick and lonely

Coaches are a different sort
Partners intent to build and support
People whole and healthy except
They require accountability from those who accept
Their skills and unique talents
A true gesture of respect so gallant
