Beat The Record, Not The Holder Poem by Tony Cemaluk Egbuonu
Beat The Record, Not The Holder
Surpassing is allowed.
Suppressing is not.
Depressing is not.
Debasing is not.
Backbiting is not.
Belittling is not.
Overtake.
Outshine.
Outperform.
Do not envy to surpass.
Beat the record,
Not the record holder.
Holder's record was registered,
Recorded years before yours.
You, the recent breaker —
Don't be the envious day-dreamer
Who dreams of breaking the man,
Because you cannot break the record.
