The Atlas
The road to success is marked
with signposts of all those
whose ordinary strength
were propelled by preternatural
energy
to exceed certain familiar bounds
along its side.
The map to euphoria is outlined
with names of people
who painstakingly
pored over its natural contours
in their hot pursuit
for complete excellence
until they finally got there.
The journey to victory
is embarked upon by those
who in their quest for fame
and glory
abhorred every past discouragement
and defeat
and plodded on
with their torches of flames
before they accomplished
peculiar feats.
