Persistence Poem by Asher Proschansky

I've beaten brains and brawn
Smothered scorn
Outlasted politics
Cut through dramatics
Way laid the hypocrite
stolen back the booty
from thieves, burglars
and made men
beaten the bullies
shamed the snobs
escaped the mobs
got heard in a crowd
others screamed out loud
decided when to pounce
played always to win
awaiting my time
with very trained eyes
no one will pin me to the mat
or outlast me
it is as simple as that -persistence that is!
