Rungs

Elites benefit from a spiral stair-case

A ladder is the usual means of ascent

Rungs that facilitate a measured climb

Or on the other hand a quick descent

 

Life's rope ladder has many rungs

We dont enjoy a rung of our own

But share one briefly with our rivals

Each rung on the ladder is on loan

 

You can easily get knocked off a rung

Or turn your rung into a terrible mess

Ladders can make you a TV celebrity

Or give losers a fast means of egress

 

Life's rope ladder has many rungs

We never enjoy a rung of our own

But share one briefly with our rivals

Each rung on the ladder is on loan

 

Mount the ladder and overcome gravity

Scale heights up to glory or dangle low

But keep your balance and beware the

Climber's occupational hazard, vertigo
