Football and Life
Just like football I’m a team player
But In the game of life; one could get a dagger
In ones back; if one is not careful.
Even if one adheres to the rules; it may seem like one big hassle
One could get blamed for being a fool;
All the while, trying to play it cool
As one climbs to the top
While riding the coattails of some boy genius
Defended him on the spot
By brown nosing and yes man grinning
Shaking hands puts one spinning,
Out of control and a bit confused.
One thing I should say is-
“Stay true to you!”
So one does not look like a buffoon.
On ones gallop to the peek
Then the rat race will not seem so bleak
