Impress Me Son

IMPRESS ME SON


Brevity is the span of life, it is so short ;
But linear is victory without any short-cut.

The world you see now is a battle field ;
Doggedness is the only mean to the yield.

A hand that sowingly itself deceives;
Cries in vain upon what it later  receives.

Be not a leaner but self reliant;
Hunt not fly nor ant but kill the giant.

Remember,the whole world is yours;
Limitation is in nowhere but in us.

Impress me son now that I may   smile;
That I may be proud of you in Niger or Nile.

Behold, you are the last leg of my race;
Fail not son, in your hand is the ace.
