Rush
To take the prize
As their own
Making themselves worthy
Anything less
Cringeworthy
Dirt to public eye
Being on the rise
All the way up
Never give way to lose
But how high
How long
To stay wealthly acceptable
Wondering myself
Why go through
These unnnecessary troubles and superficial beliefs
More to take away
What is really important
Our true identities
Humane selves
Money
Fame
Reputation
Eventually blinds away
The reality
These feeds us
As they destroy us
Ending in corrupted cycle
Do not forget
Where we are from
Who we are
Before these things come
Remember our names
Stay gracious
Where we come from
Is the way
We will go afterwards
This time is yours
As you, yourself
With the things you like
Throwing things you do not like
Do something
As you give yourself
The best
The unforgettable
To laugh yourself off glorious
