The Life Champion

THE LIFE CHAMPION To take Use up And run Is the aim of the life champion A conscience? Sadly the man on top Seems bred with none He wants it all And of course it must be free To work for it Is to the dishonest some sort of idiocy He who tramples first Is sadly better placed To grab all of life’s gains With minimum conscious pain Life it seems today is full of envy Must we always crave? To want what another has Is but Fair To those who know no sort of fraternity To advance up the greasy pole Acquiring the accruements of a life Filled with flattery and hyperbole Is the aim of him Who everyone loves to scold The one who masters this life We of course do hold up as a secret ideal His life philosophy we all covetously aspire to Despite him never feeling the least bit guilty For all he does to disadvantage society Be not fooled For this life is not easy If you plan ahead What may come may make you feel queasy Play this roulette that is an uncertain life Live as you may Who knows if the truth of existence may be found one day To be selfish and grafting Is To play the game of life Against humanities rules of fair play Ultimately the guy who acts as a brother Will win the day
