The race to succeed
Mortals classified as horses
Winning chances defined
Odds spelt out with favorites

To best the best
In what one does
Is to be the best
One can be at

To be the best
Better than the rest
Everything is a test
Top of the heap a quest

Education Sports Occupation
Out there in the open
Competitive world no doubt
Seats reserved for the distinguished few

What if the best
Is not enough to get selected
The next best option
Not a bad option to select

In the pursuit of winning
Living life takes a beating
Engaged in the sole activity
Experience gets limited naturally

Life lacks the color
That is associated with every endeavour
Restricted to black and white
Even Grays are missing in the order

Life is to live
Life is to experienced
Life is to express
Life is to learn

Life is not a conquest
Life is not a rat race
Life is not a scoreboard
Life is not a reportcard

A healthy life
Is to lead it well
Do what is to be done
Results happen automatically

Not to win
Not to loose
Not to prove
Not to justify

Content life nothing to pride
Nothing to be ashamed
Not a bother to other
Anything else don't matter

Another humans little finger
Cannot sweat because of ones behaviour
Do what you want
In your time place and savings

Complicating the simple
Lay it threadbare
The lesser things bother you
The more the people around you

Live it
Don't chase it
Don't ruffle it
It will ruffle back

Respect it
Thankful to it
Grateful to it
One day seperated from it
