ACHIEVING ABUNDANCE
Before I Finally Fade
Into The Ether Of Oblivion
Where My Identity Becomes Unknown
I Shall Exercise My Options
To Test My Theories
About The Use Of My Talents
For Finding My Earthly Fortune

I Know That My Search For Prosperity
Will Not Be Simple
In A World Of Wanderers
Where The Voices Of Illusion
Can Invade My Mental Ears
With The Destructive Words Of Doubts
Familiar To Those Who Fail

Even With The Best Advice Available
And The Lessons Learned From Losing
There Will Be No Guarantees
That My Most Desirable Goals
Can Be Safely Granted
By The Powers Of The Gods

My Chances Of Beating The Odds
Or Overcoming The Opposition
Obstructing My Advances
Are Spread Out Like A Labyrinth
Over Changing Landscapes
With Crooked Paths And Moving Landmarks

There Are No Straight Roads
Leading To Human Rapture
Neither The Brilliant Strategist
Nor The Bumbling Straggler
Has Discovered The Secret
That Can Keep Them From Stumbling

All Of Our Lives Are Tied
To The Slender Threads
That Keep Us From Falling
Into The Pit Of Insanity

Despite My Having To Carry
My Share Of Mankind’s Burdens
I Shall Sue For A Separation
From The Daily Minutiae
Worshipped By The Masses
Who Lack The Basic Discipline
For Achieving Noble Deeds

No Longer Will I Engage
In The Daily Gambling Game
Played By Average People
Who Try To Live On Luck

To Achieve My Abundance
I Have Decided To Devote My Time
Studying The Wisdom Of Sages
And Taking Advantage Of My Own Experiences

Each Time There Is A Challenge
To My Imperfect Plans
I Shall Seek Assistance
From The Resources Inside Of Myself

I Am Ready To Face The Future
For I Have Strengthened My Resolve
With Courage And Intellect
In The Race Against Myself
