Wanting

Everybody wanting to be Somebody. Nobody wanting to be a nobody.
So where's that leave room for
Two-Timers and Fakers.
The Naysayers and Haters.
Written as both the Hero
and the Villain.
Their insanity is in vain.
Always praying and fighting.
Cursing and hoping.
Climbing a hill that's steadily growing.
Til' a Wise-One comes and
enlightens them all.
Then only the Self-Interested will fall.
