Brinkmanship.

Brinkmanship is fair,
when not done in vain,
as to please only oneself,
ignoring all onlookers.

In can be in business
or in public affairs;
to show a prowess for
its own sake alone.

Those to impress are
likely to watch for
faults, to hold you
responsible always.

The sweetness of such
attitude is the length
of time it will last,
or it may let you down.

Brinkmanship can have
its moments of joy, out
of the skills to run the
risk of hidden failures.

To hold on to success will
demand the experiences you
have acquired from the begi-
nning of living your life.
