Men and women fight
to reach the top; up the hill,
flying down the fells,
after power and wealth.
Why smash glass ceilings?
it just rearranges us;
fighting in the marketplace -
unedifying;
one praised successful record
can hide a thousand failures.
Businessmen sometimes
slice mountain tops for profit;
leave the mountain tops
for walkers and the mystics;
relax on the plains;
make butter in the valleys.
