Of Climbing On The Success Ladder

 Of climbing on the success ladder i am one who has opted out

Of the admiration of others i can surely live without

In this competitive Human World we live in far too much of look at me

In the chatter of  most of the materially successful shallowness is not hard to see

Many look on the Earth that feeds us as something to be abused

For their ignorance of what most matters suppose they can be excused

I am as guilty as most others for the suffering Mother Earth endure

For our ignorance of the one who feeds us suppose there is not a cure

By us humans Mother Earth is made to suffer for the sake of money and success that leads to fame

What we do to the one who does feed us is to our eternal shame

Future generations of people for their poverty will have us to blame

The one who provides us with all of our needs so few do see as a great name

And though i am one not short of ego in truth i can surely say

In the competitions for admirers you will not see me today.
