Success or failure requires
more than a good idea and lots of heart
luck and extra help can make a difference.
Cortez told his soldiers to burn their boats
there would be no turning back,
forcing them to survive in a new world.
Starving settlers from Jamestown
lost hope, packed their meager
possessions to return to England
then out of the blue a fleet arrived
with a new governor and a year's worth
of supplies to ensure they colonized.
American Revolution - could have been a brief uprising,
The Declaration of Independence - a nice idea
but the French joined in and the U.S. won the fight.
Sometimes when we take on new endeavors
and are hanging by a thread we need to scream
for help and hang on as long as we can.
Good luck to Middle Eastern Citizens
fighting for democracy.
