'King Of The Hill' Poem by Linda Winchell

I remember playing, ”king of the hill”
When I was so very young.
Jumping and pushing to be on top
All in the name of fun.

But as I grew much older
I found that others in power do the same.
Pushing and shoving the weak and the small
All to gain money and fame.

It’s not however a game to them
“King of the hill” is played for real.
Climbing to the top of the hill
Some of which was built of economical STEAL.
