Scalable

Your business must be scalable –
Then bigger-than-a-whaleable —
If you would rise
Into the skies
And become unassailable

Within a house of luxury
Away from all the penury
You used to know
And hated so
Before you worked for usury

The interest of the common man
(Or common woman, understand)
To join the throng,
Yes, to belong
With all the debtors in the land –

A land of opportunity:
For everyone – for you, for me –
Infallible
And malleable
Enough to see what I can see

That sure, our lives are bailable,
Though chance seem unavailable —
Just buy your suits,
Line up your fruits,
And make sure it’s all scalable
