Square Peg In A Round Hole Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

With unsteady feet you climbed the ladder
Now at the tree top you are exhausted
Lacking the energy to pluck the fruit
The purpose of the climb to the top

Looking downward the ground is far
Creating fear for a climb down
And to make matters worse
The ladder has been removed
By your vexed more qualified competitors
Whom you cheated to rise to the top
Knowing very well your incapability for the task.
