Sweet Sweat
From the river bank, a water course cannot be changed
take the risk and go mid-stream
short cuts are easy and cheap but
with straight forward deadly consequences.
Water is confirmed to be boiled
when it’s exactly at a hundred degrees.
A ladder is said to be climbed
when the top has been reached.
Life so easy is a product of minds so strained,
stardom has no DNA, neither are strong muscles congenital.
Doing something new isn’t supernatural,
it’s the same ordinary, taking an extra mile.
A medal rounding Neck and a victory crowned head
dish out demands not found on shallow waters
when the diver is back atop
no one remembers the bottom pressures of the ocean.
