Looking back 

To a different

Age of existence

Life was simple

Happy and gay

There was no hurry

To climb the ladder

To overrun people

To make a career

One could embrace

The simple logic

Slow and steady wins the race.

Now, that logic

Sounds hollow

The world 

Has turned on the run

A cutthroat hunger

Fills the belly

The fastest way

To succeed

Is to take a shortcut,

Cheat, use power,

Discriminate and 

Achieve the goal.
