Side-Quests
10. Winner

They wanted to come out on top
of these games.

It wasn't the crown,
or the medals they'd wear
around their necks
or the sacks of gold –

No, it was the sacks of gold
that they'd take back,
turn into water, and food
and lovely clothes
the likes they can't afford.

They wanted to come out on top.
They had to come out on top.
And they'd do their best,
they'd find the route
that'd take them
to the top.
