Horses for courses
for students in halls
of the ages wherein
we would wander
would wonder would
ponder the depth of commitment
to take ourselves yonder
to views and horizons
beyond our becoming
all knowing and wiser
to surpass those obstructions
placed hither and thither
while tending our dreams of success and of glory
but please feed the horses
or lose our life's story
to the four mounted curses
that would render man
dead.
Take what you're given
then use it wisely
Accepting the mantle
you now must carry.

thank you for sharing your work, byron. with your kind permission i'd like to suggest that the digit '4' be replaced with the word 'four'. i am not sure if this is a so-called 'rule of writing', but small numbers, especially, always look better when spelled out. please forgive me if this is an impertinent suggestion.

I have to agree and in my endeavour to avoid an apocalyptic error I have so amended the offending minor notation.

I take full responsibility!
