Success Story

...

It all went sour, on the 13th year after the 20th

When in an attempt to move forward he faileth

His pissed pops, upon him insults he rained

It brought him down so bad, he cried

On the 14th, another trial, yet it was in vain

Then decided to get a job to ease the pain

Momma pushed him so hard to do better

But it just wasn't his fault things always went bitter

He moved on to the 15th and tried a route

Tried his best, on the ground he struck his foot

Yet another failure, who would he blame?

Pops never cared, he kept giving him shame

Let's skip the 16th, it sure wasn't pretty

The things of the world swayed him off so easy

On the 17th, the part seemed clearer a bit

By then he had no more passion for that shallow pit

All he wanted was to prove pops wrong

But every trial for Ben, out the window it flung

Now he feels Almighty 3 in 1 knows him no more

So he tries the route leading to the Holy one once more

Though the route, so rough and thin

He's willing to go the extra mile for success to attain
