Picture Prompt Poetry I

Pursuit of happiness is the game
All Men can walk, even the lame.
For all those that are sick, and blind
They can try to beat their own mind
There would be no-one else to blame .

Withstand the heat, that is the aim
Even if it drives you to shame
Put all the pain, and stress behind
Pursuit of happiness

The strongest might die in the flame
Only those that survive get fame
To bend a knee, it was designed
We were born was agreement signed
Our freedom, we fight to reclaim
Pursuit of happiness
