Your Life, Your Image, Your Expectation Poem by John Sensele

Optimal opportunity in life seldom comes
Bring it about if you play right your sums
To ensure the shimmer of your sun shines
As the gout of your doubt declines.

Take a bold step and carve a niche
In teaching, trimming a moustache
Ensuring your path grows clear
And direction to your future draws near.

Many years later you become your image
Different from your societal purification pilgrimage
You spent years and years to fulfil
Till you chose your expectations to distill.

Happiness lives not in an ideal
Your happiness lives in the best deal
You strike to meet your expectations
To minimize societal allusions, illusions and affectations.
