Life's Lesson

.                                          mediocrity rewarded
                                                   breeds
                                                 discontent

Thanks Richard, I almost didn't post it because, I was struggling with sounding a bit arrogant. I didn't want to convey that. I wanted to promote fairness. Thank you for your kind and generous comments. After reading several of your poems. I really am taken aback by your masterful skills in conveying an appreciation for your fellow man. Your talent and I sincerely mean this, is above the stars.

Michael, your write is deep, yes sometimes, the so-so are rewarded perhaps to boost their value but yes it can breed discontent with others and thanks for visiting my neighbor poem, that is a true story ~~
