Simon Amu Poet Rhyme Royal

Hope: Not Dope

The way forward is never straight
So you must be strong enough to be great
The battle still goes on; you’re not late
So you must make a move; don’t wait

Everyone was born to be a spinner
It only takes time to be a winner 
Every means surely gets thinner 
It takes endurance to have a dinner 

The battle is not for the paramount
Everyone adds up to the final amount
You must stand a part in this count
The cost of the crown never favors a discount

I have admitted the fight is never stress-free
That’s why to give up, I’d always disagree
I have faith and it endures my living hope
That’s why I’d favor my hope to never dope

At the tails of the ancient characteristic rope
We keep joining the head of the new rope
So we fear not the wicked, we don’t dope
We stand to fight and win as we always hope

Just That Archaic Poet October 24, 2013 at 3:55 PM This reminded me of a saying I heard many times while I was in rehab. Instead of "hopeless dope fiend", we would say "dopeless hope fiend". Enjoyed your poem :)
