The prosperous

Old man

Sitting

Behind

His

Oversized

Luxurious

Desk

Meticulously

Crushing

His cigarette

Into the ashtray

Looked at me and said

“Kid

Success is easy

If you desire it

Some do

Some do not

Some are afraid of success

All the self-help

Mumbo Jumbo

Only goes so far

Put

Horse blinkers on

March, March, March

And

March some more

Until

Every muscle

Cannot move anymore”
