Those Rare Jewels Called Positive Determination

1.
I Am in 
luxury,
My dreams 
have taken 
me there,
My stood 
by 
decisions 
have 
gotten me 
Health and 
Wealth,
At least I 
am not 
found in 
the 
Morgue,
How else 
could I be 
here 
without 
Hardwork, 
Humility 
and God's 
blessings.

2
If the 
reverse 
were to be 
called 
upon 
then 
you would 
resurrect 
POVERTY, 
If I took 
defeat for 
A 
Companion, 
Then 
would I 
evidently 
languish 
till my 
Dying day,
If I didn't 
sweat 
towards 
my dream, 
thus 
would I 
worship 
daily at 
Life's 
'Abyssmal' 
Sanctuary,
For as A 
Man I 
heeded 
Success's 
call.
