Winning is all it is
about life.
Fashioning and preparing
for what you desire is
not so easy to achieve,
it is the beginning of
something marvelous
and magnificent.
Though fate and destiny
we must overcome to find our
place in the scheme of things.
To forge our destiny takes
discipline despite of
magnanimous unforseen
circumstances that may
unwittingly upset our efforts
in an uncanny way.
The mind must be sharpened
and strengthened to escape
the perilous crafty pressures
of this pesky world.
You must first desire it,
see it in your minds eye,
stay focused and determined,
then give it form to actualize it,
and finally manifest it.
Winning has definite learned basic
duplicative principles you
must imbibe to succeed.
Winning and success are half brothers
to financial freedom which is
the cousin to wealth born of grace.
When Grace speaks struggling
vanished like the thunderstorm.

i’m like King Midas,
surrounded by gold, the best
but i don’t touch it,
can’t touch the very material
i give off,
can’t make myself the kind of happy
i (apparently) make others.
i give off pure gold,
24k happiness,
but the metal grows cold in
my veins, turns solid
letting the worst seep into my bloodstream
and the best
swirling through the veins of the ones
around me.
oh, how i wish
i could get a taste of that
24k golden sun.
