How To Seize An Opportunity

First you must unlearn
The art of hesitation.
Drive a wooden stake through
The heart of inhibition.
Recant all those promises
That do not currently profit
Your needs at this particular moment.

Ignore the screams and moaning
And pleas of mercy from
Your victims.  They will get over it
Once the sudden onslaught
Of pain and betrayal subsides.
All wounds will heal 
With time and weak inaction. 
Put this moment 
To thy submission.
