Used In the writings of The RhymistGift and The Consummate Transitioner, based on the Bible scripture 2nd Timothy 4:7 (KJV).
My son crossed the finish line, he graduated from high school. She crossed the finish line in receiving her Master’s Degree. It was an arduous struggle, but Congress got the bill on climate change across the finish line.

WHWB? - means What Have We Become? (2020). Created by The Consummate Transitioner and introduced on the website and is in the title of the poem “The End State…As One? (2021), a revision from the original elegiacal poem “The End State (In the Meantime) WHWB? - WWWB? (2019). The poem has nine stanzas and is an elegy of a silent war among us about the things that we have lost in America, at least the illusion of things such as ...honesty, integrity, truth, trust, transparency, morality, ethics and empathy, and the new normal we now accept, because when we look in the misty and foggy mirror, we see different things that divide us and takes us on different paths and in summation, which should cause us to ask the question …What Will Be The End State. What Have We Become? (WHWB?)

Keep On Running - a metaphor to not ever give up and to keep moving forward in life. It is based on the concept that life is journey and in your journey is a personal race to successfully get to and cross the finish line of success and accomplishment. In the race of life are your trials, tribulations, setbacks, and struggles, and it is a marathon and not a sprint. Used in the writings of The RhymistGift and The Consummate Transitioner based on Aesop’s fable “The Tortoise and the Hare.”
Life is a race, and the only way to get to the finish line is to keep on running. Keep on running your race and do not ever stop until you have crossed the finish line. The tortoise was not the swiftest or the strongest, but he won the race, because he kept on running (did not give up) and crossed the finish line. Life is not fair or equal, but you can win your personal race, if you keep on running.

Played - (intellectual) is when you are unaware, unwitting, gullible, or naive, and are used, deceived, tricked, and manipulated into believing or doing something that is delusional, has a negative outcome, and/or does not reflect the actual facts, truth, or reality.
The insurrectionists got played, because they believed what they were told. No one ever wants to admit that they got played. He thought he was “smarter than your average bear,” but he was the one that got played!

The Race (My Race) - The race (my race) is a metaphor for overcoming your personal inner and outer struggles in attaining accomplishment and success in life. Success in the race is not meant to be easy; it is meant to be hard. So we must develop a mindset to overcome and to always “fight the good fight” with resilience, perseverance, and persistence. The glory is when we overcome our struggles to keep moving forward, forever-evolving and becoming that better person until we achieve our best. The race is long, arduous, and unpredictable, a marathon and not a sprint, but you can win as long as you keep on running (do not ever give up). We can all win the race.
Getting my Master’s degree is my race in life and I am not going to to stop until I accomplish that task. As I run my race in life, I have evolved and become a better person. The race (my race) is not guaranteed to the swift or the strongest person, but to those who endure to the very end (cross the finish line). Used in the writings of The RhymistGift and The Consummate Transitioner and based on the Bible scripture Ecclesiastes 9:11.
