Be Amongst Few

Mediocrity, Excellence two shores
Waves of Efforts connecting shores 

Surf on tide, swim against flow of ocean
Be ashore leveraging art of propulsion

Mediocrity, a reality, almost repulsive
Excellence, a rarity, almost elusive 

Race of Excellence, making man a rat
Each gnawing at other to breast the tape 

Peaks exist because of bottom layers 
Underneath layers vital for peak to be there 

Peak below feet, mark of Excellence pursuit
Feet dragging at layers, a mediocre feat

Peak and layer, complementary pair
Live with conviction, dash of dare 

Peak accommodates just few
If at layer, gear up, stir up, be amongst few
