Mediocrity truly has no merit
despite any advances its makes;
it is progress that lacks accountability.
It ends with being distraught and jealous,
with anger and insecurity.
Yet the one who carries it knows its weight,
the one who carries it knows there's no time
to dial back and make progress with the truth;
the world has moved on.
To fail and succeed
doesn't come easily to the average.
There are no lessons to be learnt,
no wisdom to be imbibed,
no hills and valleys,
no corners to turn.
One can look ahead for miles and look back for miles
and the scenery remains the same;
sunshine and rainbows,
never the rain or the pot of gold.
