Poem
I have come to the point of decision And I have decided in favour of love Wisdom is not solely measured by experience But more by capacity for it I have glimpsed deep into history I have sieved through its successes ...for the soundest advice I could find Most profound I have received from the greatest achievers in its archives I am a Student of Life I am a Wordsmith of Optimism And I am a Mason of the Castles of Dreams This Trinity of Purpose for me goes hand in hand, side by side Each benefits the other Issue is, they set me apart from the others Here I am, young when I should be intoxicated with the fads of modernity Fortified with skills that are eager to pay the ordinary wages But nay, I am not to be beleaguered I focus ahead to perceive the greater rewards at the summation of days For I place most value on the greatest wealth: WISDOM and HAPPINESS I have come to the point of decision And I have decided in favour of love I choose to commit my heart entirely To the work I love best For it is this calling that shall liberate the sanctity of my humanity The world I dwell in fathoms not a shred of my quest For it views life through the lenses of reality True as it may be that my work suffices not to endow me ...with common currency in these economic times The rationale of my perception discerns far beyond this temporary mist Let them roar their throats in laughter at my perceived stupidity But it is their children and their children’s children that shall benefit most ...From this shelter of thoughts and dreams that for them I build I expect no immediate remuneration for my onerous undertaking For I rationalize it as a selfless gift to humanity Hence I shall tap deep within to give all can give I am determined to build this Shelter of Thoughts and Dreams I have the basic skills hence I commit my willingness and ingenuity The Good Gods shall present the mortar and bricks The fear of failure has been permanently exiled from boarding my being As my eyes are fixated on the prize I am ready to pay the price
