Wealth of a Salesman

Hang on the line
Another caller is trying
An alternate proposal
Events are sometimes causal

The seconds are ticking
The account is open
The budget is ambitious
The market so vicious

The clientele so capricious
Demand is low
Supply is high
Failure so close

Seize the moment
Timing is everything
Bills need paying
Promotions to be fought

The cost of sales
The sale of your hopes
The customer is king
Even in a democracy

That's meritocracy
Not in your idiosyncracy
Have your parachute ready
Times are so trendy

The seconds are ticking
The window is closing
The account is on the line
Your heart is ticking

The monster of greed is licking
The sports car
The condo
Yet you are alone and the clock is ticking

A beach far away
Children play
The cost to pay
For a high flight

The career way or the highway
The tolls are high
The price worth paying?
Hold on the line!

Seasons Of Years

A poem, a business allegory:

"Seasons Of Years"

Winners they were, of endless quarters
Believers they were, to the cause
Seekers they were, of the absolute advantage
Players they were, of the perennial game

Alone she was, waiting for her Prince
On the phone she was, searching for clues
Prone she was, to conspiracy theories
Away from her throne she was, a princess without her prince

Speechless he was, observing the outcome
Penniless he felt, after the game
Effortless he thought, was his way home
Pointless he knew, was to try to regain his throne

Years passed
Springs, Summers, Autumns and Winters

The princess was waiting
The prince was hurting
The people were confused
The enemies were amused

Fairy tales can come true
But only in fairy tales

I want the world and I want it know
She said

Can you settle for half the world now
Or the whole world later?
He asked?

No, I want the world and I want it now
She insisted

What makes you think you can have it?
He asked

Cause I want it!
She replied, impatiently.

But do you need it?
He continued

You are stalling!
She accused him

Can you deliver the world to me now or not?
She insisted

I can, but not to you
He replied

Why not to me?
She asked, quite upset!

Cause I do not want to
He replied

Who on Earth do you think you are?
She challenged him

"Atlas"
He replied

How dare you joke!
Your boss will hear about this
She said angrily

I am a free lancer
He replied
I do not have a boss
Next!
He said

The line was long
It was going to be another long day
