The Button Pusher

Okay so I wanted to stray away from this melancholy things I've been writing about to talk about something serious. . . I love making money and I love having power (I'm not egotistical or fucked like that in any sort of way so please don't insult me in any way) but I want to be respected when I gain these things, for some people who have these things are not. . .I chose to post this piece after I read it on my cousins page a while back cause I thought it was an important goal for some people to aim for. . . The Button Pusher



I was driving around Fenway one night with my cousin Q, and we saw a man with a trench coat and sunglasses, and various bouncers, and police officers, and random men in business suites came over to great the rather inconspicuous man. Q and I looked at each other because we were somewhat perplexed...this guy, something about this guy in the trench coat with the sunglasses at night...then Q said "he was probably a button pusher." So what is a button pusher? Well, the notation below explains just that.


BUTTON PUSHER

He is the guy in the background giving the thumbs up or the thumbs down

He gives the go signal
He signs the checks
He determines the course of action
He hires
He fires
He is the one that makes the crucial decisions
He is the go to guy

When all else fails, when there is chaos, when there is utter disarray, when there is fear and pandemonium, when it appears that all is lost.....
his phone rings; THE RED phone

and he takes over

and makes things right

thats him

the public wont know his name, but those who need to know him will

He is the man in the dark
the man that sits next to you on the train
passing by you at the market

The savior
The protector
The enforcer
The Punisher
The brain
The logic
The tribunal
That is he
No feelings, just execution and excellence
