Get Going

So you want to be a success 

Even by working less?

You have your priorities wrong,

You haven't thought for long

Over what the future holds in store

And how you will go for

Your dreams and ambitions.

In fact, do you even have ambitions?

You like to dream and dream and dream

And your ideas reach for the extreme - 

Now don't get me wrong,

There's nothing wrong

With dreaming of a very bright future - 

But how shall you form that future

If you can't be asked to even get up

From your seat, standing tall, chin up?

How shall you proceed

At your imagined speed

If you won't even begin now?

Explain to me how

when you refuse to work

Even just a little bit of work.

Where do you expect yourself to be

To change your situation, become free,

If you do nothing but laze around?

The time is now, you are bound

To go far if you at least start.

So get up and get going.
