Best Go For Poems
Life is a dangerous struggle
Full of inconsistencies, challenges and pains
Life is not fair even to the fair skinned
The dark skinned are not faring better either
In everyone's backyard a little rain must drop
Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for it.
In life, even the rich also cry
The poor in pains and agonies cries ceaselessly
The middle class have no problems 'cause they never existed
The orphans on the street go bare footed and hungry
Everyone is plagued by this turbulent journey called life
Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for it.
Life is an endless and unpleasant adventure
Ending in one phase and continues in another phase
Beggers beg and no one gives to them
Widows cry and no one hears their voice
Everyone is caught up in this crazy web called life
Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for it
In life, the religious are not the righteous
The righteous looks rough and rugged
Unnoticed because they have no class
For long we have been in this turmoil called life
And it has promised to continue unabated, no end at sight
Whatever happens, set your goals and go for it
The smart acts smartly by running away
They cross the sea, the Mediterranean sea
Unfortunately, you can't run away from life
Run away from it here and you will meet it there
Even though we're here, I know we'll soon be there
Only if we can set our goals and go for it
Life is everywhere, has no friends, has no foes
Life rewards, reproved and reprimands
Everyone is lotted opportunities in life
And it's their responsibility to take them
The faithful pray while the unfaithful prey
Whatever you do, set your goals and go for it
Life has no end, life has no beginning
Life is an omen, the omen never lies
Life keeps everyone busy on their own lane
Though some lanes are fast, some are slow
But ultimately every vehicle gets to its destination
Only if we can just set our goals and go for it
Life cares for no one, Life is hostile
Life is an excruciating and toilsome lot
Imperfect Life preaches perfection
Unfortunately, no one needs perfection
We're all trapped in this vicious cycle called Life
Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for it

with both hands
forge your path
never hesitate
be bold

Athlete kabob meat to skewer
Olympic games meet the sewer
Those ratings too flat
Create new dangers that
Pander to the TV viewer
When it’s 4th and Goal
and you’re down by 13 points,
air out that pigskin!
LETTING GO
Lingering claw marks denied my compliance
Etching my desire into their defiance
Tears that say good-bye to ages passing
Tears that hide a Dad’s love everlasting
Indifference, feigned stoicisms lie -
Nurturing the strength to let them fly
God may be the wind beneath their wings
God may promise them eternal things
Only Dad contains the tears each parting brings
Crayon marks adorn the open door
scratch marks from a long discarded toy
old Chevy waits – the one we had to store
clenched tears announced “her unit must deploy”
footie pajamas
marching in a distant dust
children seeking peace

You are quiet, yes, but not alone
You crept into the library at night
Snuck out to the cinema to enjoy a B-grade sci-fi - or even a cheesy chick flick
You were among others who enjoyed your company
Not consciously, no, but there was a connection under that layer of thought
You thought you could perhaps crawl under the smoky haze
Take a drag once a while - it smells great! - but never enough to be lost in it
To be blinded by it
You were just one of those people sitting by yourself at the back of the cinema
Hoping for a dip in the ocean but never a full plunge
I hope you'll hold my hand while we jump in together
Shall we go for lunch?
(Dedicated to someone I care for dearly :)
How do you feel when the love of your life
Whispers those three magical words
Perhaps you're feeling the glow of contentment
You get from the bees and the birds
Knowing that someone thinks you're real special
Makes your little world's worth living
You wake up each morning with a smile in your heart
The star of the show, top billing
Ready for every obstacle that lies in your path
Love makes them seem so much smaller
You walk with an extra skip in your step
Your stature appears so much taller
It's likely caused by your most confident air
As you travel through life unabashed
That skip in your step is a definite signal
You've reached a plateau unsurpassed
It's unbelievable what true love can do
It can change your life in an instant
Hoping you've found YOUR special person
If you have, don't let go for a minute

Go for it and set the standard of excellence
Have proper execution
Implement your strategy
Carry out the mission
The journey will be challenging
You may have to go through a battle
Climb those mountains
And find your mettle
It’s scary to venture from out of your walls
Into the realm of an instinct that calls
Resistance is futile when the seed is sewn deep
Whose curious fingers reach into your sleep
When the spark of intent grows strong in your breast
Like a flower breaks through from its wintry crest
It won’t let you be, it’s dishonest to try
To suppress and stay safe as your life passes by
When you accept that you must take your chance
To go with your calling and make your advance
Then believe in yourself and steel your resolve
To conquer the problems your quest may involve
Whatever happens, you must follow your dream
Keep going however hard it may seem
Hold tight to the yearning that serves to inspire
That drives you on forward with passion and fire
Say firmly 'I Can' but not 'What If I fail?'
Be of positive mind and you will prevail
On your journey through all of the testing and trials
En route to your goal that will end up with smiles.
When triumph results from the course that you took
Let no one dismiss it as nothing but luck
Your prize will be earned for the grit you have shown
Throughout your endeavour and the way that you’ve grown
If you are in love
Take stock of your actions.
Because words like dove
secure no affection.
Hold their hand
Kiss their face
Slide on a golden band
show they can't be replaced.
Love is for the warriors of doing
the disciples of yes
Take that chance, get going
Impress.
Go For It..
You stand and wait-You sit and dream-
What is your fate, your destiny
If the future doesn't come toward you,
you have to go and fetch it.
If all you want seems far away
you have to run and catch it.
me mate duckbill platypus
feels claustrophobic in my car
me other mate asked me to be his running buddy
we ran once, then he said it was too cold
what a load of rubbish
the river of death that finishes a hard life
when we ran, he fell to his knees
calling for a chair
we stopped at the McDonald's drive-thru and
Jericho in the back started talking into the speaker
about the haunting impact of one's past actions
and personal choices that have broader
societal implications
when we pulled up at the window
they gave him a burger
How do you feel when the love of your life
Whispers those three magical words
Perhaps you're feeling the glow of contentment
You get from the bees and the birds
Knowing that someone thinks you're really special
Makes your little old world worth living
You wake up each morn with a smile in your heart
The star of the show, top billing
Ready for every obstacle that lies in your path
Love makes them seem so much smaller
You walk with an extra skip in your step
Your stature appears so much taller
It's likely caused by your most confident air
As you travel through life unabashed
That skip in your step is a definite signal
You've reached a plateau unsurpassed
It's unbelievable what true love can do
It can change your life in an instant
Hoping you've found YOUR special person
If you have, don't let go for a minute
gold,
gleaming,
gilds the light,
quickens pulses,
making eyes go wide,
waking up greed,
steels resolve,
sets goals:
gold!
