To give it all up for the here and now,
Means that a circumstantial sacrifice is made.
Looking forward to what might just be,
Allows the ultimate glory to be claimed.
A giving of one thing precious,
To a cause so worthwhile and just,
A decision based on rumours,
A chance that is taken with lust.
Willing to risk it all for power,
It’s grabbed with both hands in greed,
Not thinking with the grey matter,
Forsaking the simple things of need.
Sleepily, the hour draws near,
When the point of no return arrives.
One must chose between the facts,
And the dreams for which one lives.
Finding it within oneself,
Is a challenge few care to take.
Creating the future for ourselves,
Takes practice for what we make.
A final word of warning,
To those about to embark.
Listen carefully to them all,
And you won’t drift far from the mark.
