This poem holds an excellent message for young people who are told to push and shove their way to the top. The top can be a lonely place.

There are those that will step over whomever to reach their dream, but once that dream is fulfilled and faded, what are they left with? Too many bridges have been burned behind them, and nobody will be looking to give them another chance.

Right on. The praises of man eventually echo their final refrain. But the heart, it remains to everlasting. Thank you for this. Blessings, J'nia

Wow! I have seen this and that last line "yet it is the HEART that lives forever" powerfully expresses a truth all humans need to heed!
I really enjoy reading your poetry Susan

Glad I am not in the working world no more. I try to get along with all who live in my apartment building. No gossip about others do I wish to share in. I give each a chance for friendship and see the best in others and not the worst. Sometimes that brings me needed peace of mind too.

Office politics can be very stressful, and misery is the one who has to work in the middle of two who are at wars with one another.

I had the experience of working amongst such individuals, and it was really hard to stay on neutral ground. They each want to pull you to side with them.

And some are big bullies with loud voices, they bullied their ways to the top paying little attention to who they step on.

Such is life!...and we have to see and work with these people in most of our waking hours.
