One can easily become disillusioned in a world senselessly  
Filled with confusion and upheaval – evil at every corner,
and it appears as though good has become unsustainable  
Bleak as tomorrow’s tidings may, I stay on bended knees
Looking upward with unanswered questions - let wisdom
Rain down like libations, to quench thirst wrought off miles
upon life’s rugged road, and before the end has come I want
To have left behind a legacy of achievement, taking whatever
Motivation I can get to buildup up conviction, until cynicism
is converted into action - my spirit soaring like an eagle propels
My ambition to loftier heights thought unimagined – so I wait
Patiently for a windfall gain, made from choices to facilitate change  
For I’m indomitable, from a lineage of kings rising above the worlds
condition, like a sprightly star among the constellations…
