Men lose their equanimity .
As they rise high up
Status takes them to a prosperity,
Apparently to a new set up.
Alcohol intake leaves man dizzy,
As his mind roams
Making him fly around in a frenzy,
Hastening him to his tomb.
Wealth accrual converts his quality.
As he wallows in luxury,
Detaching him from humanity,
Driving him to a desolate fury.
Power puts man in a pedestal,
As he lives in success absolute
Positioning him to an elevated pinnacle,
Far away from the multitude.
Alcohol is a personal fault,
While wealth connotes a mild toxin
Power assumes a malignant default,
Intoxicating the mind to a nonchalant fix in.
The lust for power overtakes in a ten,
As the taste of power is mouth-watering ,
Proposing an intention to acquire often,
The supremacy as a best offering.
