Grounded for Life

Standing at the foot
Of the corporate ladder

A tougher obstacle to overcome
Than the murder wall
Which has claimed
Over sixty lives

The higher you climb
Comes more power
With greater responsibilities

It's hard work
Trying to fit in
Trying to hold onto your identity
Trying to stay grounded
At such high altitude

Like mathematics
There's a number of ways
In which to fall
When privilege is earnt
Not given at birth
