Social Contender

Logically appraise the situation
Sizing-up the ones wholl do you good
Realize its not merely position
That gets you to the top thats understood
You cant live with yourself
So live off someone else
You say your one of us But youre really one of them
So dont pretend — social contender
This rule by ladders hazardous ascent
Your path is strewn with others who have bent
Ambition hides from view those who are falling
Convince yourself youll not be like those crawling
Laughing in the face of their distress
Believing theyre impressed with your success
Youll find out the street you travel narrows
Poisoned by the edge of social arrows
