Cries To The Hustle
Mr. Kravchenko, a Ukrainian—
he’s human too,
though he appears heartless, almost alien.
He just saw his daughter, a newborn,
then duty called him back to the army,
thinking, “Will my baby ever get the chance to hug me?”
John, a lawyer, carrying the ambitions of his folks.
Last week, he handled his first case.
Little did he know, when he walked out of the house,
that would be the last time
he’d see his mother’s smiling face
.
Then there’s Craig, the best hockey player.
Little did he know his friend was a true traitor—
a reincarnation of Judas.
He intentionally shattered his leg,
turning a life of buying
into a life of begging.
To every hustle, there’s a downside.
To every hustle, there’s an upside.
But hustle itself is an uncalculated risk
without God on your side.
