Expediency Versus Proficiency Poem by John Sensele

Don't jump on a bandwagon of shame
To reap temporary fame
In a bid to stake a claim
To choices teeming with blame.

Don't drive your life away
When your life at cross roads
Entices you to play everyday
Until you reap dire consequences in laden loads.

Don't fritter away opportunities
To learn vital lessons from past mistakes
When mad blood to your head shirks duties
In preference for headaches and heartaches.

Don't entertain present expediency
To the detriment of a bright future
That depends on confirmed proficiency
In a diligence and perseverance culture.
