Lost

How many times has it happened,
That we lost all hope at trifles?
How many times have we given up,
Just when things began going haywire?

We accept defeat too easily,
We surrender at first war call,
We no longer take up arms to say,
"Beware; I do not go down easy!"

Life now is so much easier for us,
Yet we refuse to face its terms,
We despair at every turn of events,
We halter at every bend the road takes.

We have lost the power to face obstacles,
We have lost the faith that we can overcome them,
We no longer look at them as challenges,
We believe them to be eternal roadblocks.

We have forgotten that we fail for sure,
Whenever we refuse to take a chance that comes by,
Until we decide to get up, take note and make a difference
We have lost the war, we count among losers!
