This is a short poem that highlights todays competitive world where money and muscle power try to rule but the pioneers ultimately win..

The world has transformed

And has turned stygian than ever

For here, big foots have arrived

To crumple new buds, flatter

Before a new fulguration,

Can spark in sight

A thick brunce appears

To hide it about

When a new dawn

Tries to arrive

The gloaming

Pulls it behind, out of sight

The race is on

With puissant people leading

& pioneers

Holding, waiting………

Those crumpled & pushed back

Are never as weak as slack

But are dauntless

As they never quit

Because they know that

If there isn’t a loser

There could never be a winner!!
