In A World

In a World of many writers not everyone's a poet
And not everyone's a playwrite or a novelist of note
We all cannot be winners many must lose for one to win
But to yearn for wealth and glory should never be a sin.

In a World of many artists not all can make the grade
The visual arts no different in that way than to the wordsmith trade
And for one winner many losers to artists too apply
Though you are not a failure if you give it your best try.

In a World of many sports people not everyone knows fame
And not many are destined to hear the masses chant their name
We all cannot be winners that's how 'tis meant to be
And only to one of many go the joy of victory.

In a World of many Roman Catholics only one can become Pope
And many of the top job can only live in hope
And though a Cardinal from leadership is only one step down
For him it does still seem a long hike to religious renown.

In a World of billions of people many dream of wealth and fame
But few ever live to see theirs become a well known name
For one to be a winner and make the headline news
So many disappointed for one to win many must lose.
