Marathon

Marathon
6/4/10

Is life a game
in some Olympic event
where people will argue
about who's more splendid,
or what activity's harder,
thinking they're greater person
for deciding to participate,
choose, a difficult course
with degrees of expertise
needed to successfully compete,
so the end result
carries a deep satisfaction
when aligned to parameters
society calls real victory,
while those who trail,
diverge from normal regulations
taking route less traveled,
find individual soul rewards
through uniquely personal marathon.
