Mastery

ˈmast(ə)rē

my donkey army

my donkey army 
will defeat lions because 
i am no donkey

i conquer my fear 
by submitting daily to 
its bitter wisdom

wise men are masters 
at home with their riches where
the fool lies enslaved

if i just practice 
every step ten thousand times 
my luck will find me

change is a matter 
of my deep motivation 
not ability

i stand before you
and speak without fear because
i read every day

if you would not flinch
when crisis approaches then
train like it is here
