Best Shot
"May we be saluted as we stand brave and tall.
For we do not smile into the face of danger
though we brace ready for the brawl"


   
"It" came out of nowhere
and stood before me
glaring with green eyes

because I had a purpose
a meaning in my life
a reason to survive
 
there was nothing I had asked of "It"
only to "step aside"
because my path was clear
stay the course of my goals
my gifts my prize
 
as that is the only law of my hearing
my will and to which nobly I abide

"It" intended to stop me
and to deter my road to glory
 
what's with this thing
I asked myself
only The Lord knows the story

"It" launched at me
swinging high and low
hitting me with its best shot

hurt and dazed
from the onslaught of blows
I... fell to the ground

but strength came from deep within me
rising me up thus... I rebound
with new-found motivation
blessed by Kings renowned

You are not through just yet!
laughs their voices in my head

let’em waste its energy
take the heat we know it's hot
 
but hold firm {yet a little longer}
to unleash the best that you've got!

"Bravo!" Say we;
and with great acuity
for "It" will come to find

that you are being guided
by the betterment of mankind
{to share of our good cheer
goodwill and great wealth}

"It" must be misinformed
or maybe "It" simply forgot

that you will get through "It"
 like "It" or not!
