Failure Is Far From Any Solution

Failing once, twice or more should be called trying Because it takes a few times to wholly grip a lesson depending On the individuals and their experiences Part of living is to grasp all types of classes and courses Which can lead to eventual success When we fail once, we somehow win something We reach a different or higher level, a different class Failing must not be on the projector Failing must not be on the monitor Failing is when one is gone, dead, kaput and no more When one either flees or is kicked out of the door As long as life exists One must fight hard, strive and persist To pass the tests in order to be included on the winners’ list Through making serious sacrifices or to kill the ugly beasts Of idleness, dullness, procrastination and laziness We must wake up, get up, stand up and be ready to rumble At the same time, we must be insightful, clever, tough and humble Failure stands far from any solution Failure can never be an option Winning is about doing positive actions Winning is about accepting and willing to fall To get up a few times and to walk straight, strong and tall To defy gravity and to eventually be among the constellations.
