To 'Do' To 'Know' What It Takes

There are those who want to 'DO',
But refuse to go through...
The process called 'learning'.

And those refusing to be taught,
Valuable lessons only discipline brings...
Are often caught complaining.

And what do those who do it,
Complain about?
Not having it like someone else has had it.

You know...
The one who has sacrificed their entire life.
You know...
The one who hardly sleeps day and night.
You know...
The one who is motivated with an appetite,
With accomplishing in their sight.

You know?
Well...
Maybe 'you' don't!

But there are many who have done it,
To 'Do' to 'Know' what it takes.
With a creating and making,
Of what they do look easy.

You know?
Well...
Maybe not 'you' but there are those who 'DO'.
