Man Climbing Man
War is declared
the field is set
blood-filled pawns on a chess set
with the flag raised and weapons primed
for our disposable heroes
their time is nye
the stone cross roads and the moistest fells
warmed from the flames of hell
a piercing stare across the room
office politics contempt and gloom
man climbing man
the mountain to the alpha male
man climbing man
bullying on a sliding scale
violent words and painful cries
webs of sin and deadly lies
the new boy blues will settle in
who cares what race or fat or thin
don’t go crying to the boss
your tearful eyes cost you your job
portraying weakness and insomnia
bloodshot breath with a sour spike
man climbing man
the mountain to the alpha male
man climbing man
bullying on a sliding scale
