For my friend and coworker Will

Will Power

by Badger_29


"Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear" Dan Millman

Getting tense? 
Your best defense,
 be still will;
for it is not a crime
 to sift
conflict with rhyme 

To detect, deflect and
 master disaster,
 we must just write faster!

Then when your quill
 has had its fill,
you will be
Will, still

A professional pleasure 
to have become acquainted- 
with another who treasures, 
the gentle art of sainthood, 

given freedom to choose, 
which some call "free will", 
finding out about the blues 
that follow the thrill! 

Plea with me
this resounding decree
that this is not
in fact free!

As we treacherously travel 
space/time to unravel 
this mysterious flower,

we come to see 
that to be truly free, 
we must choose
 to use 

~will power~




Thanks to Google for the image, and rama devi for the help with proper wording and punctuation.

I published a book and
whenever I sell or give one away, I write an original poem in the back.
This was for my brilliant coworker Will who also happens to be a poet. His phone had been stolen, and the person who stole it was trying to extort money and so he showed me a poem that he wrote that helped him express his anger and frustration.

Blessings,

Brother Badger
