Beneath The Bitter Load

I saw a rock it was a toad

And it was ‘neath a bitter load 

It could not scamper, could not leap

Cause it had diamonds on its’ feet

It did not know to take them off 

And daily you could hear it scoff

“Why, I’m a prince!” it’d say to me

“Yes, I’m a god! A King!” you see

 Well, truth in that, it may be true

 But this what I say to you

 Take off that load

 And take a leap

 Or be a toad.

 Who gives a bleep!?

I really like this poem. People make excuses for not pursuing their dreams, they are often afraid to take that leap. Good extended metaphor.

Thanks for your kind response. Should I open this for the contest?

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
