Competition
May the better win
Heard in Mythology
Told in a different Context
Good vs Evil
Talent and Skill
Strength and Will when
Identified with Ignoble
Faced defeat
At Battle
Competition by definition
Existence of an Opponent
Worth measured
Only Tool used
Win and Victorious
Loose and Defeated
Folly of Participants
Performance in Tournaments
Victory won in Practice
Lack of it the Opposite
Championship only Confirms First Place
In the Race
Winner and Loser
Not Against each other
One half of another
Complementary Nature
Compete to make it Whole
Hard Work and Discipline
Rhetoric for Inspiration
Chance to Participate
In the dance
Only one will Suffice
Complete Sacrifice
Crossing the finish line
First not a must
Nature is aware
Trouble you endure
Commitment for a day lacking
Opponent sends packing
Passion for the Game
Not just in Name
Submission to the Coach
Most neccessary Approach
Respect for the Rival
No means Trivial
Reverence for equipment
First sign of development
Optimum Potential
All Aspirants equal
Formidable or Despicable
Never decide
What is in Store
Who is tuned for Glory
Time tells us the Story
Attitude to Outcome
Whatever is Welcome
Not Thinking yet
Not Dreaming yet
Ready for whatever may come
Compete against the world
Impossible task to behold
Easiest way to judge yourself
Are you better than your
Yesterday self
Anticipate Result
Faulty Method
Engage in Process
Rest will happen
For the best
Process not a Ritual
Expression of self Spiritual
Relationship Mutual
Effort Result Equation
No better demonstration
Spiritual insight
Brings to light
Opponent an Illusion
Reality defenition
outside competition
Mirage in Inner Vision
One with the engagement
Is final enlightenment
