...

Old as the hades, dark and rigid

Each steps cranky, move on it lanky

Told of them that walk this way

All,  legends retold till date

On this lies the lain

Made stars of those whose life derailed.

...

...

The hum was generic,  thick, commanding

Hauling all to it, hurrying each on that passes on it

Come, come, you, come, change your destiny

Greediness of man appeased, the glory whistling

No return on taking this turn, the advice.

...

...

They walk, with pride inside, fear is out

Briskly stepping on the rung

On the lane, they never knew the wrong

Come, come, the voice said : come

For fame,  for money,  for glory, world dominion

With care they go in, expectant.

...

...

The secret now known,  the veil is gone

Sitting like a 100 years old donkey

For fame, family, for money, mild mind

Nothing in life is free, we were blind

They sacrifice themselves and get no clues

The fame they get, the life, they loose

And to what gain is man turned to goose.

...

...

The step I took,  to save my career

I'll sell my life to the devil, the most richer

For fame round the world,  I've heard he gives

On this staircase of Parabani

The A-list walks by me, as I sadly went in.
