Colors of American Dream

What is the all big American dream?

American dream is pregnant with four stages:

Rising from the valley of survival to stability,

Riding the stability horse to a resounding success &

Charting the course of success to significance.

Abound are the colors of the American dream

The ways and means are entirely your choice.

The end shall depend on your poise

Device a strategy and realize your noble dream.

Hey! May I ask what your noble dream is?

The ant went ask for a shell from the snail,

The snail in turn asked for acute mandibles.

The ant was angry with the tools eatables.

Was the snail right or was the ant a snare?

The lizard ran short of blood and visited the snail;

The snail in return requested scaly legs for traction.

The lizard taken aback, retorted: no way snail!

‘So what you got for me?’ The snail questioned.

The lizard dumfounded and tantalized, quipped.

The cat starving, went fishing sitting by river bank.

The cat watched fish swimming in sparkling colors.

The cat observed its paws and looked at the icy cold river.

The cat sang the best of its meowing songs to no avail!

The meowing though a snare to cat was to the fish, a scare.

How can the cat catch the fish without wetting its paws?

Sooner than later the fish disappeared into the wilderness.

To the cat the river had turned fishless and useless!

Disappointed, cat thought of the mice in the bushes.

Attention! He went to Patience for help but patience was homeless.

He craves for Persistence but persistence was in a comma.

He turned to Consistence but the latter needed time to command.

He went to Focus and Focus asked for an action plan.

He scratched his head and rocked his face losing a whisker!

He went back home saying to himself “am not a risk frisker”

He consoled himself irrefutably; at least “am a brisker”.

Meditating at home on his misses and near-misses,

Here comes a black mamba in tongue-out mood hisses;

The cat leaped into the air and landed with paws kisses.

The mamba meandered violently in attempt to dismiss,

 The cat waited on the mamba’s upright position to prove remiss;
Mamba in upright posture, the cat stroke multiple paw kisses.

The mamba meandered helplessly and slept on its back amiss!

The cat meowed in sublime ecstasy with rainbow bliss.

A charging spirit in the jungle is like a tongue to a chameleon.

You need some fresh meat, be ready to bask the cold of Leon!

Be, believe in yourself, wear your glasses thus, get your medallion.

You need courage? Memorize a Golgotha and set out for your million.

Go prepared, get the right tools, seek a mentor, grab a helper; get in motion.

Beware of Negativisms ands Negativists in their multiple colors;

They suffer from “Negatorisis”a contagious disease full of donors,

The symptoms abound not limited to: slander, smear campaign doctors,

Discouragement, dream stealers, motivational hackers and lie perpetrators.

They move around a lot hunting for victims and consequential lay directors.

Take wise advantage of your natural gifts: two ears, two eyes & one mouth;

Listen twice, look twice and speak once; it’s the law of proportions, obey it!

Only one obstacle in your way: “You Factor”; are you your enemy? Quit it!

Get your wits together, follow your guts, plan your work and work your plan

Beware of relational illness, change your environ, develop a new cultur’span

Seek necessary help, get started, forge ahead and forward ever, focus on ban

American dream; you seek dear, claim amidst the storm, you yearn & crave

American dream, wide yet narrow, tall yet short, big and small; hid’ in cave

You want one, better gird your loin, & tighten your belt most of all behave!

Nothing of value comes without valor: stand your firm ground and be brave!

Design American dream with others in mind; convex rather than concave;

Concave is selfish but convex equals outward generosity that y’r way pave’

Opening the spring of life and yielding place to finance Ramsey Dave.

Leave distractions alone, check the big picture, go and keep to your design

Look out for huddles, impediments dodge them but note the warning sign

Recite your WHY that way you stay the course focus and never to resign

Investigate your pitfalls and dissipate the cancerous from the benign

Listen to advice but watch out and decipher the sincere from the malign

Remember your family; that’s an end in itself, when time’s up quit & assign.
