Conquering The World

They work later than usual today 

In hopes of making their mark upon the world 

They'll compromise their sleep 

Wishing for their career to take a leap. 

There's an hourglass to measure time. 

A plant to feel close to nature. 

The very first proof of a spoken syllable 

These are thermite tools of life on their table. 

There's plastic model earth on their table 

They look at it for inspiration 

In order to achieve all their scope 

They conspire to conquer the globe. 

What they do now pay them back in the future 

Success and a name every household knows 

They smile with pride not greed 

An achievement that they did succeed. 

And then they looked at the others with them. 

Ten-year-olds they played in their childhood with 

They're grown-up, mature, and navigating today. 

Their parents worry earlier but now they are okay. 

All of them, workers, sellers, businessmen, 

Professional engineers, doctors and cops 

All of them, grow, rise, shine. 

Winning the globe and conquering the time.
