The Nature of a 'Tag-Along'
'Tag-Along',
The name oft accorded to fame and fortune seekers
Trying hard to latch onto others,
For the sole purpose of personal fame or fortune.
A 'Tag-Along'
Hopelessly struggles knowing
He cannot make it alone,
At least not on his own merit;
He lands on a precarious perch, at best.
Perhaps, when sufficiently latched onto
The well-deserved merit of others,
A shadow of pseudo-fame and fortune
Appears momentarily to him.
He thinks it is real.
The 'Tag-Along',
Not a natural born leader,
Just another follower
Likely being mentored,
Knowingly or unknowingly.
Jumping out of the shadows
Into the limelight,
He appears momentarily
On the horizon of history,
Seeking validation and accreditation
That he has not earned
And does not deserve.
A 'Tag-Along',
Simply playing God;
Man mimicking the divine,
Claiming credit in the name of self.
Humility,
An unknown word to him,
Beyond his comprehension or understanding;
Learned only by tumbling
Into reality's deep chasm of deepest darkness,
Where ultimate humiliation
Leads to human breaking
That brings him to a position of awareness,
On knees that touch earth's finite realm,
As he gazes upward to the heavens.
A 'Tag-Along'
Moving towards infinity's realm,
Eternity, his ultimate destination,
Beyond mere fame and fortune,
(Such senseless pursuits by man
In search of his true human nature).
