A Dream Unachieved

The heights of our achievement, glories
Are lost within the debate of their worth
Have we created such a solipsistic world
We cannot understand why we should try
If another's joys are seen as stolen stories
We cannot empathize, we are the curse
In so doing, jealously hate another's rise 
Can we hunger so, for our own victories
Ignoring the need of others for the same
While we take credit, to pump our legacy
While refusing any amount of blame?
Do we bow before the God Mammon
Choosing to steal, selfishly gathering
Watching others fall, to our shame
