He stands there,
infinitive tons of undoubted muscle,
mind equipped with
pursuing magma of deep gutted grizzled,
apparently he's ripped,
if you know what I mean?
Success is his tattoo
with eyes that burn like a furnace,
he sees gold in the abyss of turmoil,
a bottomless pit of tribulation
the genius
who learns gigantic calculus
from the heart
and breeds willpower,
he stand firm
and does not fail,
to him, a hurricane is a beeless hive,
he bathes in magma
till success proclaims him pure
Risks,
they are diamonds in
the fangs of a cobra,
blessings in disguise
This is the exact character
of Bill Gates
or Lebron James,
the successful man,
the man who always does it,
determination
persistence,
dreams
are his pawns
in the chess of life.
