I Now Want Glory

Dull Thuds Smack Pow Always wanted to be second But I want the gold now Hiss Splash Gasp Crunch Found a power in submission But gold packs a better punch Glory's reckless, glory's dumb But good God, now I want some Glory's Greek and weak and greedy And it's got me so damn needy Always thought ambition seedy Bite. Gold. Earn. Gold. Take. Gold. Leave them in a guiltless dust For the first time I just must Win.

Dim is the light shone through cracked stone. The loose pebbles resonate in the hidden stream.-Rumi
