When one comes up...ascends the line

Somewhere is there one left behind

To feel his place is better filled

By that who's presence, for better or worse...

Will be remembered in sunlight - not a memory cursed



Jealousy will reign, as will

Anger and pain

Unfairness is rife

Victory goes to the vain



The one that ascends shall, in his leather-boots quake

Knowing they're waiting for a mistake

Yes, he's haughty, indignant - a right pompous prick

But he's a human and forgiveness shan't let the branding stick



The weak shall hide behind a clever disguise

That of power and strength lest they meet their untimely demise

Fear shall prevail

Can't handle what entails

To be less than you're told...



In life, face the fact,

We're simply following trails

hmm... not really a poem... more of a brainstorm inspired by Sharkie's work. All credit goes to him... lol... Take no notice!
