Find Focus

Missing image

Few self-selected boundaries secure
success against distortions.  Envy, greed
may undermine intentions fine, immure
great goals from circumspection's jesses freed.
Need's great when limits grate, for cynosure.

Where moderation frets, ambitions feed

appetites which waste, haste immature, 
potential spendthrift squandered. To succeed,
spurn sinecure, forthrightness fair ensure,
refusing pride’s possessive purblind lead -
feeding views subjective, premature.

Find focus as unbiased instincts guide.

 

Way's narrow, high's temptation's signing fee

between the devil and the deep blue sea ...
