There Are Winners Selected Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There are winners selected.
And chosen as elected by those who perceive,
Who winners are and should be.
But the only ones who lose,
Are those who choose...
Not to participate in the process.

Everyone wins with a keeping of initiative.
A contest should never diminish to end those efforts.
What is loved by one who is devoted,
Is more committed to it than the gathering of votes.
A doing with a completion done,
Should satisfy anyone who knows who really wins.

There is no top ten,
When one remains devoted and with commitment.
