The profession I adopt to mount the great onslaught
upon the summit denoting men's ambitions -
a decision entirely for myself to make - I'll take it
as a mark of my sparking individualism.
The schism between us relates to the way you play
your hand, blandly ignoring my declared intent -
venting your wrath as if I were some foolish
schoolboy, unfitted to decide matters of importance.
I applaud the fact that you do discern how I've earned
your praise for the ways I've tackled life to date.
You rate me well in that respect - detecting
job opportunities that others would grab.
But when it comes to choosing my career,
you mustn't meddle - and I trust that's clear!
