Self-Sacrificing For A Future Harvest

Self-Sacrificing For A Future Harvest

Is often

Hard to digest

During the heat

Of any

Lasting & challenging ordeal

It's often seen

As a real

Trail of worthiness

That's meant

To be overcome

Inside the mind's

Of all participants

Momentarily

Lies a dawning question

Ultimately asking...

What's left

To inherit

Once merit

Has quenched the temporary thirst

Of every go-getter

During their own season's

Thorny harvest...

Only time will invest

It's correct

Trivial answer

In the next future segment

Stay tuned...

Perhaps there is something arrogant in the act of self-sacrifice, just as much as running from it...great piece B, you should indeed be proud of it :)

Hmmm, what's left to inherit?
Good question! I don't know.
Once we've reached the top...
Do we become mentors, teachers?
Let me ponder this...
