Winner

Who doesn't want to be a winner?

They preach we all are a sinner.

Do we have to sin to win?

A question swallowed with dinner.

For every winner, there are many losers,

to win, we have to be our very best.

But to lose, we are not really losers,

just didn't do our very best on the test.

But there are many kinds of contests,

we can always find one we are best at.

Where we can excel above all others,

become a winner from doing that.

Sometimes, it's only persistence.

Waiting out the odds for a very long time.

When we are the last one standing,

there is no competition anymore to find.

A winner by default, waiting it out,

is a wonderful strategy worth trying,

if your health is not in doubt,

before you make it, end up dying.

But if you perfect a single skill,

like memorizing trivia to the hilt,

and go to Scotland by the Moors,

may get higher scores in a kilt.

If you choose the middle road,

you will never be a winner.

But just another bit of matter,

out of the universe's inner.
