winning it all

you are a winner
you are awesome and
and you have the trophies
to prove it

when things seem to go your way
you humbly suggest
it was just being in the right place
at the right time
you secretly
and sometimes not so secretly
suspect that you did something
to deserve that luck

the outrageous
the unthinkable
is the injustice
of a blown call
the fixed fight
the competitor with p.e.d. s

you worked hard
what the world owes you
are the fruits
that work deserves

when you are a winner
and you discover
someone else cheated
on your behalf
one hundred years ago
and your every victory
is now tainted
what do you do?
