Why You Were Chosen
Eyes strained,
Breath held,
Waiting has been too long...
to add to the chain started by so many pioneers…
Then it was time for one to make the change.
So many rise with ambitions to be "The one"!
Oh, but midway they are just lost and
giving up, leaving them all more frustrated than before.
You thought you could be that agent of change: From there!
Long awaited by the desperate ones in the queue
who were not chosen to wear those lucky shoes,
you felt you only worked hard and you deserved it: from here!
Right! But you were chosen like so many to be the change.
Alas, you let yourself be carried away like lulled
to doom by the sirens' enchanting voices; rewards, money and
power; they gloat your fame and boast about your abilities….
Sadly all fake demonstrators and opportunists who fly with birds of…
"fine feathers in fine weathers"!
Open your eyes to overcome your blindness and unlike your predecessors,
Think about why you were chosen…...
For there is always, still time for improvement!
