I, too, am Industry –
Sings the Entrepreneur.
I may run the startup,
Sings the Entrepreneur.
I may run the startup,
With no track record or little history.
They deny my concerns exist
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
For Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When my startup scales,
And the company listing comes .
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Look how unnecessary you are to the economy,
Let alone society,” Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how innovative I am
And will want to share the table with me –
I, too, am Industry sings the humble entrepreneur.
