All The Sweeter

Victory is all the sweeter when it is earned in the honest way The former Olympic Champion was suspended for the taking of performance enhancing drugs today A hero of his Country for him there was many a loud hooray Stripped of his Olympic Gold for cheating this is his price to pay Victory is all the sweeter when in the honest way it is won What often is achieved in ways dishonest often times later becomes undone What goes around always comes around as the wise are known to say The silver medalist has been honored with the gold he was cheated out of today Even when you lose with honor people your name will want to recall But when you do win without cheating this is the best feeling of all The celebrated Olympic Champion today is one in disgrace In sports as in life for cheating there can never be a place Victory is all the sweeter when it is earned in the honest way Just before you think of cheating remember it may well not pay.
