Wow, how fortunate does one get
when right from early doors
all around you was inspirations
sister a doctor, brother a doctor
uncles and aunties Lawyers
cousin a Surgeon, another cousin a Naval Admiral
he would visit in gleaming white ensemble
with braids and epaulettes
looking like he's just stepped out of a movie
Mum would smile and say, wow what a dashing young man
all I saw round me was successes
people striving, positive endeavours all round
you were always encouraged to work hard
read, pass your exams, come join us soon
it was positive pressure
you have to make the grades, just look around you
you have to know what you're doing, be single minded
be focused, work hard, its the only way
I never harbour hate for no one
was never envious or jealous of any one
never felt the need to put anyone down
rather I had role models I learnt from
inspirational friends and relatives that guided and encouraged
it was expected, I did not disappoint
I left my comfort zone and made it through my sweat
a friend in Blighty says
the bright kids get bullied and call geeks
the others cheek the teachers and do as they like
its video games, social media and trolling
its ****** harassments from both sides
and when they leave semi illiterate and bleak futures
they can go join the Leftist and Anarchists
who will teach them how to hate success and aspiring people
They stay never amount to anything
and spend the rest of their days blaming some invisible Elitist,
parasitic royals or some Greedy Jewish Capitalist
stealing their birth right,
and I suppose, their fish and chips as well
and talking Revolution
Who are the Jokes and jokers
No kidding!
