Power To Run

“He's out of his league” the saying goes
Deliver the words to a poignant rapture
Along the way and through the never
Success brings a certain stumbling

Darker each day, the writing withers
Even the best delay induction
Fortune belies the power to run
A mind to the source instruction

Since a spendthrift soon wilts
Better to crack wide-open throttle
Rather than bottle what cannot be stopped 
Stamped incongruent but not incomplete
