The Pyramid of Life

Maha Kamel
few are those who make it to the top...!!

few are those who
make it to the top
few who once
reach up there
sometimes drop
hitting the floor
rock bottom
from the zenith
of a rooftop
an exclamation
becomes
a full stop
once a success
story
now a film flop
someone else
has taken
your place
your crown
a new backdrop
a new king atop
babu mushae
fame only
reflected sorrow
in a raindrop
lifestyles
we swap
you are now
the new photo-op
mr amitabh bachchan
the cycle of fame
success
a roller coaster ride
non stop
a new number one
waiting in the wings
with his lap top

this poem was inspired by maha kamels comment on this post when it was only a picture.. now it is wisdom
