Versus Poem by Charles Tiffin Clegg

Are you living versus others
Winning in the field
Beating them, triumphant
Put them in their place
Take no pain from anyone
Proving your the ultimate
and never losing face
far better than the others
triumph goes to you

People hurt and full of sadness
They're the ones like you
Up early they feel rotten
Tired from the start
Drinking lots of coffee
Soon on the field competing
Their minds a battleground
Their muscles ache
Their bodies hurt
They're tired in the morning
exhausted every night

Feel you're hurt
then it will go
Your rage will dropp away
Caring for those you know
Find benevolence for friends
Your soul will starting arising
new energies abound
you'll smile, not ache
and want people around


There is no victory full of hate
Embrace your wounded self
Love begins with suffering
For people just like you
I know because I'm like that
I found a better way
So up and at em tiger
See what you can do
to lessen others burdens
Your heart will lighten also
You found a caring love
That does not tire us at all
There's much to do today
people crying out for help
go there, you'll be happy
Sleep well, awaken new
Love serves its wounded owner
As much as those receiving
Life is fun, alive, joy begins again
