Power, wealth, and fame - some have it all
winners in God's lottery
the beautiful, the celebrated - the acclaimed
A King perhaps, a president - maybe a boss of all
a legend perhaps - like Genghis, Cesar Attila and friends
thundering, sweeping all before
The world at your feet
the millions - at your door
Great while it lasts
then - desperate to preserve frantic to survive
the higher we've flown
the further we fall
inevitably
until death makes losers of us all
End
