The only thing, <br />You may be able to prove... <br />Is your right to live your own life. <br /> <br />However, <br />In doing so... <br />You have no right to believe, <br />Your success or lack of it... <br />Depends on someone else, <br />Being depicted as less deserving. <br />Because that is what you wish. <br />And you make attempts, <br />For others to acknowledge this. <br /> <br />Be not that big of a fool. <br />IF you sincerely choose, <br />To excel. <br />Fools are a dime a dozen. <br />And today... <br />Anyone just may get two dozen, <br />For less than that!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
