The Summit

The Summit

A Poem by SoundOfThought
"

Is it not every man's dream to be at the top?

"


Is it not every man’s dream to be at the top

And to be remembered as nothing less than the cream of the crop?


Well currently, there sits a man on that much sought after summit


And although it may seem blasphemous to think he’d ever fall from it


I can’t help but dream to take his crown from him.


But, I admit, while my chances escape from being none, they’re quite slim.


Nevertheless, I will attempt with all my might


Whilst channeling all of my anger and spite


To force our hallowed king down from his seat


And attain nothing less than sweet victory, and make him know the bitter taste of defeat



Now is the time


My position’s sublime


All I’ve to do is wait.


With just a one, two


His time is now through


It’s over, my liege, checkmate!



My dream is achieved


All because I believed


And all of my skills I did hone.


But I’ve come to the conclusion


That my dream was foolhardy, a delusion


For you see, my dear reader, now… I’m alone.
