Make Sure When You Ascend The Ladder Poem by M. Asim Nehal
Make Sure When You Ascend The Ladder
Before ascending ladder, beware
for the world above is filled with despair
with each step, your ego will inflate
but soon you'll realize it's all a charade
the higher you climb, the thinner the air
and everyone's just trying to get their share
you'll meet the elite, the rich and the famous
but behind closed doors, their lives are aimless
they'll tell you success is all about the money
but their empty hearts will leave you feeling funny
you'll see politicians, all smiles and lies
but their greed and corruption, they can't disguise
the ladder of success is a treacherous climb
filled with deceit, selfishness, and crime
so before you ascend, take a moment to think
Is this really what you want, is it worth the brink?
for once you reach the top, there's nowhere to go
but down, where you'll face the harsh reality show.
And when you finally reach the top of the ladder remember,
it's not success, but your character that matters.
