2016: Another Shot At Greatness

2016: ANOTHER SHOT AT GREATNESS The opportunity came at a fast PACE Much faster that my shoes, I couldn’t LACE Had to join the wagon and run the RACE Had I missed out, shame all over my FACE Attitude must be right if you desire a SPACE Everyone wants a better life, even the POPULACE To succeed in life, one must be willing and BOLD Competition is stiff if one intends to join the FOLD Reception at the top is never friendly but COLD My prayer is to breakthrough early not when OLD Good name also important even more than GOLD Commitment, an essential quality, I was TOLD My past, though, offer little prospect for SUCCESS; But my zeal and hardwork can offer me an ACCESS To achieve my goals, and even marry a PRINCESS. Success is a continuum, there is no time for RECESS The wise ones amass so much wealth and build a FORTRESS Therein they have all the fun and keep their MISTRESS In 2016, providence is offering a shot at GREATNESS Another chance to reverse all the RECKLESSNESS I either grab it with all the required SERIOUSNESS Or end up with a life of regrets and HOPELESSNESS My prayer is for the wisdom to decipher the TIMES And make a success in life as if singing in RHMES (c) Wole Popoola December 2015
