The Dimwitted Rhino

He forages in the jungle
We call life,
Intently searching for a way
To get ahead.
He snorts and roars
His determination
To battle the tide
Of humanity,
Then charges forward,
Hurling his might
Against the foliage
That blocks his way.
Like a dimwitted rhinoceros,
He pits his intellect,
Effort and brawn
In a solitary war
Against the world,
But the world is
A formidable adversary
While he acts alone.
It never occurs to him
To enroll allies
In the nobility
Of his mission,
Thus success
Or failure depends
On him alone,
And in his ability
To continue toiling
In spite of the odds.
