The Fall to the Top
Like father like son
Some saw much of Daedalus in young Icarus
He was smart, too much so for his own good
Looking at others as less than
He began to feel like more than himself
He was high on power, he could touch the sun
No one could reach him
Daedalus tried to stop him
He had gone down the same spiral and suffered
Icarus unapologetically went forth into the sun
Higher and higher he rose
Stepping on others to get to the top
And then kept on going
Unmatched in all areas Icarus was
Unmatched in the demise that followed his climb
