Ask any Olympic athelete
They compete against their personal best
Seeking conquest of there own achievements
Done on their own behest
In our conquest of our own ethical behavior
Countless factors make up this equation
The wisdom in aggregate from past encounters
May often help us on occasion
The problem with self- improvement
The reflection in the mirror is tainted
Not unlike a Salvador Dali
The surreal reality that is painted
It takes skill and clear perspective
To acquire moral character
If blessed with a loving upbringing
You benefit as a blessed inheritor
Some will never ask the questions
Some will never answer the call
Treading water in the pool of humanity
The vast majority will sink in the squall
