No Contest

 

If you don’t like losing

  then don’t let them beat you ..

 

It only ever becomes

  a challenge my friend ..

 

If one attempts to overcome,

  overthrow or to defeat it ..

              I think I would say, the battles you pick in life should be worth the effort. Very thought provoking of you my friend.

              • Neville



                bless you Bella .. the battles are but numbers .. at the end of the day, its the war that counts .. 🀍

                Choose your battles wisely, so as not to taste the bitterness of defeat. Seems like a plan, if everyone else agrees to lose. Maybe some things are best left to their natural outcomes.
                A very thought provoking poem. It stirs the reader to ponder many things; Wisdom, conquest, winning, losing, self, empathy, and morality. I believe you'll get varied opinions on this one. - Phil A.

                • Neville



                  it takes all sorts, doesn't it to make the world go round .. wise words sir .. I have no doubt you are write Phil

                    they call it a fence
                    I call it my survival rope
                    they call it running
                    I call it seeing another day
                    they call it scared
                    I call it wise..
                    (still each to their own
                    an eye for an eye
                    is a great way to live
                    in a world
                    blinded by hate..)

                    • Neville



                      I know, what is the world coming to .. I call it wanton inadvertent self destruction .. boom boom .. N

                        ridiculous!
                        where can one start..
                        we just watch
                        not much room left
                        to even hope
                        just be grateful
                        for the mercies we've been granted
                        and hold-on, tight!

                        We all struggle sometimes but we always find a way to move on Neville.

                          So true. I used to play tournament Table Tennis and on occasion find played that claimed to have never lost. I knew immediately they had no chance to beat me because if they didn’t respect the game enough to search out and find their β€œlevel” then they preferred the comfort of fiction

                          • Neville



                            sounds like BL fighting without fighting .. my monies on you regardless my friend .. Neville

                              Thank you Sir .. Neville

                            • Thomas W Case

                              I really like this.
