Creative Destruction, so romantic
Discourse dominating
Almost a cottage industry in management literature
Reality is, less subtle
Destruction is painful
Livelihoods snatched away
Old way of live, evaporates
The residues, do not get media spotlight
Academic jargon sterilises pain
And destruction is celebrated
Creative Destruction is operative term for jobs lost
In software, due to automation
Evolution is social, with a cost
Lives on the line
Inconvenient truths, swished away under the carpet
And blame it on Schumpeter
