To so long - 2

About before
about standing before
considering to open
blank stares from mirrors
to be truly seen
dont fall into de trap
of jus eye seeing
seems to me most fleeting
As de engine seemed to falter
de horses gleamed wit sweat
the runner paused mid stride
first thoughts perhaps of failure
the winner no always first
de prize of win not in ribbon
de prize not in wealth
The true reward can only be known
by the one who gave the most
not tru say you
2nd place wil do
placement don count
aaahhhhh.
To so long
