Close look into the eyes

Cold sphere of malicious deceit

Ever-growing antipathy

No respect - just dread

The lowest form of recognition

For a man - calculating

Insensitive, unethical, conscienceless

Aim = career

The pressure of the peer

Minutes, hours, days and years,

Friends, companions disappear

Battle for promotion

Obstacles or inner conflicts

Dazed and numbed - fast motion

Memories, stages, moments, years,

Friends, companions disappear

Solely climbing that ladder

Following one matter

Perpetual motion process

Pursuit of success

A weird face in the mirror

Recall of familiar dread

A sudden awareness

This twist - a shock

The lowest form of recognition

For myself - how could I

Disregard my metamorphosis

I wasn't looking back

Nor looking left or right

Life on the fast lane

Without taking any notice

Change - evolution?

Transformation - metamorphosis

A smothered mind - reprogrammed

Creeping metamorphosis

Solely climbing that ladder

Following one matter

Perpetual motion process

Pursuit of success
