'I Have Made It' Syndrome

This unknown biopsychosocial malignancy Causes more harm to poor countries than poverty The newly macadamized road to success is full of horror stories After years of trauma in the squalid classrooms of life Many young men and women find themselves infected Affected by this malignant disease of the mind In their chronically deprived state of being They consider educational achievements as a pot of gold And will step over those who are vulnerable and poor Corruption is a symptom of this devastating disease Deceit and lies are also symptoms listed in medical literature "I have made it" Syndrome is responsible for the perpetuation of the status quo The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer It's a sad world where intelligence is the only form of academic standard of measurement Those who find themselves in the dean's list are considered well groomed Regardless of their undesirous human traits They are given a seat at the table of leadership and success The boardrooms of this world are full of unscrupulous characters Because of this ill-defined approach to life It's not too late to find a remedy to this madness Let us find a cure or even a vaccine to this scourge Let us cleanse the mind before we can climb the pedestal of success Maybe then inequality will be halved And extreme poverty will be eradicated The streets of life will be paved with happiness ©
