The crow of the rooster

Signals the break of dawn;

Ready or not, it's a new day

Stretch my back, stifle a yawn.   

Go through the morning routine

With eyes half-closed;

Start brewing a pot a coffee

To calm headache like nerves exposed.

It's time to enter the battlefield

Survive are only the fittest;

Whacked left, right and center

Yet, still emerge victorious.   

The fire is blazing in this heart

Focused on a single mission,

Success is just within grasp

Finally, gain worldwide recognition.
