unlike the tiger in the dark
and I see,
unlike the eagle in the sky
The tiger I strived to be
the eagle I aspired to be
Yet after all those familiarization
it seems that I have neglected myself
The person I strived to be
and the person I am today
is there a progressive mutation
in the neglect of the self
Think and act like them,
the tiger and the eagle,
patient and cunning
swift and agile
swooping preys in surprise
a glory of simplicity
As I galloped into the future
in this dark uncompromising world
of today,
from the past,
for the future,
I am truly a wild mare
untamed by society
(or so I strived to be)
Come past midnight this is
in an August summer night
humid is as humid does
what a hot (test) day this is
Opportunity does not knock twice
and in rate occasion when it does
I had learnt not to soon
nor too late,
that that moment is purely priceless
And mark me when I say,
"God Speed !!!"
