Carpe Diem

I seek what most men seek,1

A means of living to sustain life,2

A reason to live, for being alive,3

For nought is triumphant without motivation.4

5

This fleeting journey is flashing past,6

Some go about it timidly, some boldly,7

I've chosen what I deem practical,8

To be rid off off poverty, to live righteously.9

10

My beliefs in tune with my aspirations,11

It has always been what I dreamt of achieving,12

A balance between abstaining and succumbing to temptations13

To believe in romanticism yet be grounded by religion.14

15

I've chosen what I deemed essential,16

A career driven not by passion,17

But a career to drive my passion,18

The ultimate tool for my future endeavours.19

20

I wish to reach out to the world,21

To assist in charitable acts that glorify mankind,22

To achieve immortality through philantropy,23

To taste the satisfactions of an unsung hero.24

25

Thus I shall not wait around,26

With my own two hands, I shall and I will,27

'Sieze the day' as they flit past,28

This is my testimonial to the world.29
