"The Great Expectation"
Oh, dear citizen, so pathetically serene,
Waiting for greatness to descend, like a divine dream.
Ha...ha...ha... The absurdity is rich!
You crave excellence, but effort's a distant itch.
You point fingers, blame the system, the fate, the skies,
But your own inertia's the anchor that denies.
Wake up, dear slumberer, and shatter the chains,
Your country's greatness begins with your own strained pains!

To quote your introductory sample poem "Avoid unnecessary interactions" So be it.
