Riffing on comments that small businesses are not inherently examples of corporations organized with kindness and generosity.
By Rachel Hoyt
Large or small,
Rich or poor,
Local or worldwide,
The pay wall
And profit floor
Have a human guide.
Don’t assume
The little guys
Are less full of greed.
Power zooms
Each time we buy.
Proceed at cautious speeds.
Cash can talk.
When it speaks,
How does it speak of you?
Dollars walk.
Steps seem meek,
Yet each holds vast value.
