Sooner, The Better

In a world of words, where stories play,
A hobby, some claim, in a unique way.
But then what's the rush? like a clock's sharp chime,
As if joy is confined to a ticking rhyme? - tick, tick, tick

Not just posting, but voting, too, (voting csi, curation, engaging comments round the clock)
A past-time turned into a coin pursuit?? (not in a negative way)
Rules scattered, some follow, some stray,
Whose rules are fair, who holds the sway?

Some call it entertainment, a delightful show, (I do agree)
Yet money's whisper, why choose not to show?
Admit it please - no need to pretend,
Behind the fun, there's a coin to spend.

Unique views in this personal game,
Engagement's the drive, they all acclaim.
Boldly agreed, the motivation's clear,
But if votes speak loud, then make it SINCERE!

Entertainment wears a coin's disguise,
A truth hidden, though everyone tries.
Admit the dance, say it out clear,
Sooner, the better, let true picture appear!!!

No shame in a side gig, a bit on the side,
Words carry value, take it in your stride.
Amid war or health, it's your right,
Earn with passion, embrace the light.

Why hide the dance, behind veiled words?
Declare it boldly, where voice is heard.
No sugarcoating the joyous feat,
Passion earns, makes the journey sweet.

So, do it proudly, with zest as your guide,
Let earning and joy walk side by side.
In integrity's light, let your journey unfold,
For there's no shame if aim's gold. shan't be the only aim

No point in denying, the truth is clear,
Your time's worth, hold it dear.
Admit it's okay to be driven,
By incentives in the game, to motivation, be given.

No matter the pursuit, be it coin or fame,
Let your actions carry an HONEST claim.
Greed may whisper, a tempting call,
But true joy lies in a FAIR GAME for all.

In every endeavor, let conscience guide,
Walk the path where ethics reside.
Play the game, but play it right,
A dance of values in zealous light.

So, as you journey, with dreams to feed,
Remember, it's not just about the deed.
Look within, let your reflection lead,
Play fair, by the rules, for every need.

Last, but not the least - A reminder to my own self:

In the context of key ingredients, whatever they may be,
Let not their nature demotivate thee.
Coin or no coin, hold onto assurance pure,
For in the finale, it's the glow of quality that'll endure.

For it will outshine everything else - So, I'm in no hurry, I am here to savor the process!

or as someone said to me:

Do as you see fit, and come what may

(visualize these last words written in gold please)

There is not just one honesty, not just one truth, neither on the planet nor on the Steem. And even this can change over the course of time.
But one thing is clear - whatever the truth may be: joy is the spice of every motivation, the oil for the engine. If this is not (or no longer) present in every action, the engine stops running. Or it stutters so much that it can't convey joy to others either, in very clumsy cases it's simply the greed you mentioned. At that moment, for many, all gold becomes worthless.
Have a good start to the new year!
I'm glad I got to know you in the old one,

That's like the essence of my poem!

Or it stutters so much that it can't convey joy to others either,

I have used joy and multiple synonyms of joy in my poem:

  • passion
  • joyous
  • sweet
  • sweeoust
  • zealous
  • zest

Without putting these in the equation, everything is as meaningless as it could be...

And very true, there is no one truth or honesty! Let the conscience be our guide during the course :)

I'm glad to know you too.
May you have a very peaceful and joyous year ahead!
Yours,
Maan

Not being a native speaker, it is difficult for me to appreciate harmony in translation, but I am sure that it exists))

Honesty is exactly what our platform lacks. Maybe this is the reason for my melancholy ...))

I hope you understood my text!

Harmony or no harmony

Yes, harmony and honesty in everything))

Kindly everyone:
Read this poem without the italicized subs first to enjoy appreciate (or not) the uninterrupted harmony.

They were added for the clarity.
The poem was fine without them.
But, I didn't want to convey any wrong message.

An anthem for the Steem ;-)) Not a bad idea. I also like it with the annotations - when I read it aloud, it seems like a voice from offstage adding its two cents ;-))

O really!
I have been singing it in my mind like a rap...
And laughing out loud.
I'm so happy you saw it like that 🤣
