Best Competitor Poems
The Competitor
Satan has competed for man's soul
Since that day in the garden
Amid all our efforts, we'd be doomed
Had Christ not granted us a pardon
"Ye shall not surely die"
The serpent did proclaim
This was in defiance of God's Word
Yielding brought, mankind shame
Lot was confronted with a choice
The well watered plain he chose
Lust of the flesh lured him away
A terrible price, from this arose
Job was advised, "curse God and die"
When storms raged on every side
Though He slay me, yet Him I trust
Whatever happens, He will abide
"Cast thyself down," from this pinnacle
Satan propositioned - God's Son
He responded with, "it is written"
To this quotation, there was none
Competition, between right and wrong
Has been paramount, through the ages
Yet every obstacle, can be overcome
A solution lies in the Bible's pages

Shadows of doubt
will always linger
but a doubting competitor
will never be a winner.
Trump A Competitor Predator
Trump thinks his worst competitors
Are news reporters as well as editors
Media who will run around in masses
By believe latest person who passes
Actions are typical of people predators.
As if judge, jury and conviction, cancer asked for no quorum as she changed & re-invented the rules of my life’s game;
Like a thief in the night, cancer mounts the starting block in a quest to seize my hard earned gold medal;
As poison races through her veins, like a wild fire out of control, she recoils with intent to explode off the start;
As both the competitor & the Marshall, cancer takes to the podium, commanding an inaudible “Take your Mark”
With ravenous intent, she pulls the trigger, releasing hell fire onto a quiet night of moonlit innocence, silently reeking havoc in the depths of the soul & under the cover of dark shadows so as not to be seen or noticed;
Once scorched earth is discovered, innocence fades & the light of truth blinds as the sharp realization of my mortality comes into clear focus, followed quickly by a gut punch response; the need to dig deep, step up to that starting block, collecting the mastery of my entire being within seconds;
As I wage war, the Beast feigns an early defeat while she lies in wait; watching, observing & learning for next time she calls “Take your Mark”;
Know that we too are watching, observing & learning. Although there is no evidence, I see you. I know you are there, waiting in the shadows, where moonlit innocence used to live.
