At The Brink Poem by Sathya Narayana
At The Brink
'Few more strides into the rival site; fight, fight! '
a lieutenant yelled, 'Conquest's within our sight! '
'Few more mouthfulls of ale; let me guzzle, guzzle! '
a carouser craved, 'I'm at the edge of azure! '
'One joker more in deck; ah let me bet, bet! '
a gamester hoped, 'I'm going to hit jackpot! '
'More billions in my coffer; let me earn, earn! '
yearned a magnate, 'I'll soon be number one! '
'One more cute woman; let me try, try! '
vied a wooer, 'My grand hundredth prey! '
'Awful are human wiles; I can't deal, heal! '
the Master riled 'Ah let me crawl into the Black hole! '
Slimy borders shake you, shock you; strain, drain!
Gain on with guts; lest back to square one, again! !
Wild side of the human beast exposed in a gripping write.....praise be to you!
striving from one to another- true we spend time in nonsense no wonder god is diappointed- good write-10

Sathya, this is an excellent poem. We search in all the wrong places, our desires lead us so far from the truth, that pleasure is not happiness. Bob 10
