If these are the rungs that took you to the top

If these are the rungs
that took you to the top
Astounded, where along the way
did your values and morals drop?

Many times we forget those
along the way
who helped us reach the top

When you use the people in your life
like rungs for a ladder,
even if you end up on top it won’t matter,
there will be no one there to congratulate you,
or for you to turn to,
if you succeed or fail won’t even matter

Climbing over this wall
all the lies have built
Sadly, the grass will never
grow green again
it died with all your guilt.

True and genuine success
is when you were able to achieved your goals,
purpose and ambitions in life
without inflicting pain,
using the ability of others
for your sake and pulling others down.

True and genuine success is when
you were able to empower
because of your achievement
and be an inspiration and
a role model for others to emulate.

In the quest for success,
People use any access.
Trampling another,
Won’t keep you afloat
much longer!

I wanted to touch the corporate sky,
I wanted to fly very high,
on I went, hopping in my quest,
up up up I went, totally obsessed,
no time to turn back,
no time to look at the heads,
rolled on the way to the crest.
