Analysis of Have Guile



Have Guile
Have an Ambition –
Ambitions reject:
Learn what you’re reaching,
Don’t expect

That Expectations
Others produce –
Your’s Inspiration,
Peace and not Truce!..

Wars let them enter
All’ round you:
Time should be Mentor,  
Just for the Few

Chosen, taken
Out, away –
Dreamer is awaken,
And on the Stray!..

Not understood is
What soars above:
“Don’t protrude us!” –
Scream “Former Tough”.

“Not so ambiguous!” –
Bitingly smile:
Aiming that Bigots lose,
Raise now your Guile!..
