PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

success lies in the tangled ability to cope

with all the curve balls life has in her still

left to throw

level is the playing field when concern holds

highest interest in the simple tightening of

the rope

give me a good argument any day

over vague notions of merely going with the

proverbial flow

I'd much rather be found in the wrong while

attempting to attain my goals

than right for but a single careless moment

yet, the obvious loser for the accidental

forfeiture of my soul

so plead not your case so much

so to those who dare to listen in the wake of

vanity and gratuitous pride

but persuade that old hard sell reason

to sit upon yours as well as truth's so

fickle side

winning is after all not always ours alone

to decide

who can shout down the lies in the eyes of

such strong truth staring one so starkly in

the face

so stand proud with a forceful fist

tucked purposefully in society's ailing back

give all that you've got without sacrificing

yourself

and you will never again be accused of taking

up any slack

and in the cycle of say one in a million more

similar instances

this one little blue dot in the universe

will be considered from there on out

a far better place

trust me

cause history tells many a recycled tale of

fault and human waste...................
