Why should your soul be fettered
with crass guards
and speculation?
The dishes will be there tomorrow -
just walk.
In reality,
it is cheer that pays the bills;
employers don't care why you're enthustiastic!
Time kills its pupils anyway
so make a new story.
Take the wealth
of this day.

Excellent
This is exactly what I'm looking in the quote, for interperation in your own words into a poetic way, but keeping the quote in mind. Thank you for coming to my contest. Kendhal22
