Poem - The Second

Post of this blog. I hereby apologise to all the faithful visitors, there was an update due yesterday but due to technical difficulties it will be for today. Here it goes.

The Second

The second,
After first.
The second,
Always inferior.

The second,
All but a moment
The second,
Inferior to minutes or hours

All who compete
Never wish for second best
All who are champions
Sneer at the inferior

Yet those guilty
Should be given a second chance
Those ill-stricken
Given a second life

Second, segundo, seconde
Oh let us do
Stop and ponder
For a second

Note: Segundo: second (spanish)
Seconde: second (french)
