Tom Wright Poet Free verse

What Constitutes Elite Status

I've never tasted life, as the elite,
Nor been advantaged with copiousness;

But I've reveled in success,
And likewise, endured the anguish,
And frustration of defeat;

But still,
I won't impugn, those, having thoughts
That I've accumulated much;
"For little, is much, when God is in it."

For as,
God has readied each day,
He has situated me, with farish health,
To continue plowing on;

Perhaps this does infer,
That just being, places me among them.
