Synergy Sonnet

August 12, 2014

Science, sentence, to sleep is to slide  back;

Insomnia, it’s the world’s greatest gift.

Push hard or be a rock stuck in a crack.

If the struggle is real then do not drift

Reading, relaxing , no not what this is for

Motivation, heart palpitations , fear

Strive to be greater or be good no more.

Search within until the one becomes clear

Just long enough to be good at one thing

That’s all there will be time  for in this life.

Choose wise or every day will bee a sting.

Human Olympics, thrust or feel the knife

Not all reach gold, it’s not Utopian.

Lust for a learned leader ? Vote for me then
