Grains of Sand, Pretending To Be Boulders
Grains Of Sand, Pretending To Be Boulders
After winning, do try to be a real winner
your moment may make or break another.
Nobody lives in the glory their mind conjures
except those lost thinking in fantasy.
Starving people want more food to eat
not words and praise of your feats.
Think again, consider life is a mystery
the importance of you lives only a moment.
Cross another bridge and look at the water
did the long, sad look down hurt?
If not you are sailing a slow, doomed ship
truly a barge filled with massive waste.
No mortal man is an island of salvation
yet any could be a saving god to others.

Note- I rarely ever write in couplets. Writing in non-rhyming couplets is even more rare for me to do. Reason is when I do my muse usually leaves the room laughing.. And I dearly hate that....
Thank God, she didn't laugh this time.. merely tossed out, " you are improving , but don't quit your day job."
Poem number 499 , next poem will be number 500 submitted here.
