After years
of dedication
a hell of a lot
of stress
a smidgen of luck
a bucketful of pure selfishness
and mighty hard work –
money, success
and power
are now yours to hold
you’ve got what you’ve always wanted
pushed everyone away for
you’ve finally found the fucking match
and set the world on fire
it’s blazing
dazzling
flames
as high as mountains
blue-oranges, reds, yellow-gold
not seen since days of old
Alas, you’re watching that intense glow
completely and utterly alone

And more to the point, the blaze will burn out; just as each of us will one day. The no one who sits with you now, will be there when you make the final trip that we all make alone. And sorry to say, there will no one to remember you; just ashes of a fire long extinguished.
