A
label stuck on my chest, plated in gold
Reads
my name on it, printed in bold.
Yes,
I stand here and I am the winner,
Underneath
me stands the world, the so called loser.
It’s
a buyout and it’s a sale.
A
ruthless trade of world so pale.
The
merchandise even sold death at sanctum
But
nothing could buy a life at any premium.
A
specific fun was the battle of guns,
Lethal
fire of arms, without a sound
I
exchanged the mental games with many,
The
wars ended with winners,
Losers
died or ran with their shoes wary.
Such
was the path to fame,
Something
to blame or is it just a game.
Those
who played it without the fear
If
nothing, at the end had their eyes very clear.
Defeat
was unknown and I became ruler,
Won
every race and felt immortal.
Cemeteries
were the steps for me,
In
the competition to reach the top.
When
I reached there I was left to wonder,
What
were all those graves for?
Was
that fiery kill just for this cold thrill?
Can
I stay here for any length on my own will?
An
eternal pale white surrounding me,
Underneath
my feet it started melting.
I
couldn’t stand it nor could I run
The
cold inside, lit me to burn.
Was
it a superfluous desire or a blatant cliché.
The
end had to be a cold sellout with the buyer to burn.
As
I realized I reached the summit,
That
sold so many deaths, to buy a life
Win
was a misnomer and life, miss-spelt
There
was nothing but that cold touch,
I
knew I stood on the Podium of ice.
