Unforgiving Climb
Some born on top,
many on bottom
There is no levels
when young
Just wide eyes
and play
When you grow
your told your place
Finding your bottom
held in a firm fist
Jumping to escape
striving to climb up
You make some money
landing a job
selling merchandise
selling to top people
You slowly rise
from your bottom
Getting married
Get promoted
Popping out a kid
You have made it to
the top
As this long
climb has no more steps
Your heart weakens
choking life out
You slowly die
leaving your place
at the top
