A poem I wrote,open to interpretation and extrapolation of a lot of themes.Enter your best interpretation whether literal or deeper,and the best interpretation wins.
"At the finish line, stands a tall black grotesque silhouette
Hovering above daring anyone who may want to cross it
At peace ,with all the obstacles that on its way was able to create
Creating enough anxiety and despair even for the most fit athlete
Balance so delicate,shiny enough to give a glimmer of hope
Visible enough to make it seem as attainable as possible
He watches closely while giving enough time for the mantle to drop
Because for most ,their hopes and dreams written down ,by the end of the race are reduced to a scribble
All hurdles designed carefully for armour on the way slowly left
Even the most equipped end up taking the easiest route to combat him eventually
Those with diamonds and gold move through the hurdles obtaining armour through theft
While the victims are forced to switch plans because he will destroy their life gladly
Bored and helpless helping those with gold even Silver and Crystals they gain
While thinking of what life could've been had they had the chance to follow their heart
The hurdles continue equipping the equipped, making them use less and less of their brain
Victims have to choose whether to succumb to his pressures,or live in a fantasy where winning could involve their art
But is it really fair if the pressures affect the respect they gain from the spectators?
Is it really fair if colleagues would see them as plaque even though they are taking a different path to defeat the same perpetrators?
Is it really fair if the points they each get , regardless of the path and difficulty is determined by the same adjudicators?
Is it really fair if the obstacles, depending on time taken,will make them dropped even by their own mentors?
At the end of the day the victim is forced to follow a path chosen for them
Because everyone providing the armour on the way is fatigued
Dies thinking of what life could've been had they fought harder then
But forced to be grateful for by obeying at least they had somewhere to sleep."
