What stories we tell ourselves to create our trues
Dreams that we’re superheroes or mighty kings
Big shots we see in movies, on TV, in the news
Trying to reach that high, despite what it brings
History says that most such are unkind people
Who’ll lie, cheat, steal, even kill to reach goals
Must decide whether we will climb or keep still
Which will bring rewards, which brings but tolls
Any reason to believe one better than the other
What if we are comfortable in the lives we live
Is it dependent on our fathers or our mothers
Is it a question if we are taught to take or give
