Life less Ordinary

 

Facing the public, I fear

And it all started from there

With a bold dream to conquer

An intellectual fighter

With hope, I start my journey

Of wit and audacity

Seven minutes, my speech shall take;

With a hard stand, I shall make.

I speak on behalf of them,

Whose justice is but a dream.

For those oppressed and helpless,

Every round won’t be pointless.

I will bluff when I need to

To convince them, I must do

In defending what I know,

It’s a chance I must not blow.

Matter, method and manner

As my weapon and armor

Aided by Athena’s wisdom,

Shall I stand in the podium?

“Hear, Hear!” That’s what I should hear,

It boosts me to hear that cheer.

“Shame, shame!” to a speech so lame,

Faulty logic is to blame.

I clap at those who beat me,

Proud to lose honorably,

Debate, you’re a vagary,

A life less ordinary.
