Hannington Mumo Poet Rhyme

Late Achiever

Belated achiever’s life’s sad: 
The Joneses have their cars,
Philips own their regular pay
And Alexes are with the stars. 

You shed a tear in the day,
And brave such sundry fights
As the Bensons placidly snore
Away their magnificent nights. 

Divine clemency that tarries yet 
Is your lingering wobbling hope;
And fickle kith and kin do hate
Belated achiever for his penury.

So it’s all sad woe upon sad woe
As blood and friendship turn foe.
