Aspirational.

15th July 2015.


Aspirational


Those who do not aspire to be better than they are

Shall not be given of to eat

Those who do not strive

Shall be cut down

Imperfection is failure

Those who refuse to tread the path of aspiration

Shall be led unto expiration

We are not good enough

We are not whole enough

We are not perfect enough

We must strive

We must try

We must be other

We must be better

We can never rest

We must never rest

Rest is failure

Failure is unacceptable
