In the ageless acceptable principle That we must excel to new heights Setting new standards of excellence In dreams born before us Some of are driven To the point of exhaustion Never having the chance to become children Playing within our own fantasies So as we must succeed with no failures So we become disorientated In the strict rules governing us Finally rebelling in the tyranny of it Life must involve individual pleasures The self satisfaction of succeeding On your own initiatives Taking the steps in your own time Being driven is alright As long as you are not steam rolled Into a pressure cooker Take the steps in between to learn What life is really about So in a new doctrine of mutual respect Let’s join in the believe We all can have an affect In the free spirit guiding us all Setting their own standards individually D.Lester Young 11/4/2002 Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) |

I love these principles penned here, they could almost be tenets of faith for they are very Desiderata like Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
