HUSTLE

Busy, in motion, Active

Moving up the street, moving down the street

Some to and some fro

In desperate pursuit of the heart’s desire.

 

Driven, Striving, None are lethargic

From the pro, to the con

Men in a bid to lay hold

Claiming rewards they’ve labored for.

 

Tongues, Peoples, Nations

Language not a barrier

So long as motive’s clear

Something’s got to give.

 

Trades, Bargains, Markets

Own the streets and in the heart

Commodities not in short supply

Even souls will be traded.

 

A stumble, a wobble, a fumble

Never an obstacle to progress

Determination leads to distinction

Even though destination’s unclear.

 

Purpose, Mission, Vision

Fulfillment yields more courage

To not just take up the future

But conquer enemies within.

 

Ask, Seek, Knock

Don’t you dare give up,

If you’d ever be the one

Don’t lose or you’d be won.

Like it.

Like the set up of each beginning verse, with 3 statements/3 words.
The piece has a lot of chop like brevity to it. It works well here.

None is lethargic - really eats me... really this think "is" should be "are".

Really love stanzas/verses: 3, 4, 5, 7.

Nice work. Good read.
