Have Some Gumption

A cheater never a winner was. An honest man earns his great applause. Bootlegged words make confidence schism. Stealing verses denies truth's wisdom. Writing one's best makes ideas glisten. Expressive minds hope people listen. So go ahead, have some gumption. Live life golden; ascend con's basin. Deceit never did bring satisfaction. Observed ideals take positive action. The harmed forgive, though it is not easy. A higher order shows loves flows deeply. One should never choose to plagiarize, Not while thoughtfulness remains alive. © October 30, 2011 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen
