Shifts in Priority

At one time, limelight was secondary

less important compared to

Safeguarding one’s reputation

Today, anything it is

for that moment of glory …

So being “fastest man on earth”

on D day is paramount

never mind if you are declared

"The fastest junkie on earth”

the next day !

or getting that award

before the elite, in an  elegant hall

as the best entrepreneur
or CEO today is paramount

never mind if skeletons

come tumbling out

of the cupboard tomorrow!
