Strategy & Structure. Architecting Market Position
I pledge allegiance to the self,
To cast away the chains of fear,
To strive each day, to make clear
The light within is boundless wealth.
From deep, dark wells, a glow ascends,
Trials they shaped, storms they befell.
Not a day goes by to dwell
In the pursuit, on the way you meet the shadow..
A beauty, a splintered star…
She’s drop-dead gorgeous, untamed, free
You learn in the process of alchemy,
raw and whole,
God breaks your heart to salvage your soul.
And each fracture refines the gold of life.
You are needy, you crave, you yearn,
You are possessive,
you want it with every turn.
You’re passionate, firey, dont stop the burn
You are loving, lifting hearts higher.
You receive with arms open wide,
Be proud of the obsession, don’t hide.
You are me, why fight?
One day all this will fade and pass,
This is now, your moment to amass.
This is you, you are here, alive,
Cleopatra reigned, in her prime, she thrived.
Now it’s you, your time, your light,
Living here, before the night.
Thérèse once stood here free to fight
Now it’s you and your dreams
Everything is happening through you for you with you, as you are witnessing Gods gifts
You did it alone,
with so little support,
Imagine your strength
with a tribe as your fort.
What fires ignite
when you all unite,
When voices rise,
your path alight.
What of the weak,
who came in flocks?
Sheep gathering,
to build you blocks?
Trying to dim, all that you stock?
Afraid to see your spirit lift up?
And those who doubted,
your craft, so long ?
Will they leap in joy,
with newfound plea?
Shan’t they beg to sight, you pleased ?
Shan’t they dance for joyous glee?
<pause>
Salvation is the key
It lays beneath your feet
You met the sheep’s for a high fee
They show you why you came to this feast
You think seeking validation is wrong,
Until you realize none comes along from not.
You think craving attention is a crime,
Until you found yourself behind in time.
You think speaking out would do you harm,
Until your silence sets off someone’s wrath
And so I dove deeper, into the core
to where it all began.
That bunkbed, dust heavy
Next to the sheep’s
And there I lay,
the odd one out,
an open wound to stray bullets,
to silence louder than rejection.
They say it’s lonely at the top
But I know it was lonely at the bottom too.
I’m a hopeless romantic
With hope its better than titanic
It’s a dance on the ship
But its a sway from within
It’s chemistry
I was a good student not just in history
I know about chemic fluids
I know what happens when juices mix
Explosion, dissection, penetration
Not sure you can follow without confusion
It becomes humorous, the hippies
the peace, the love, the grove and let loose
The Blue eyed and frisky dudes
Until it hits you, that’s a to-do.
The looks, the man, the brain, the health,
What more to seek other than wealth?
What is wealth?
If you let loose, it’ll surely come to you,
Attracting goodness, a beating drum.
Let’s not complicate what life’s for
Embrace what’s in front
Surely, it could as well be gone
But one day she’ll leave this earthly spot.
When she shuts her eyes,
starting the process of glimpsing inward
she’ll clearly see,
The mornings fresh dew
In the Norderplantsoen
She’ll recall the thousand grabs in Bali’s air,
She’ll then dwell on her first love’s sweet, awkward stare.
Days she yelled for him to stop the gazing flare
Oh and the gazebo,
Were they stood under at night.
She’ll remember days of dreaming bright,
Of futures shaped in hopeful light.
She’ll remember crafting her own fate,
From life’s ordained mistreat’s,
Searching for the good and great,
Continental debates ..
And maybe she’ll remember too,
The one who’s reading this, that’s you.
