Success Poem by Thabani Khumalo

To one, a stone is success,
To another a soldered metal or a diagram upon a page.
One man bids his rule over the other as being successful.
To another it is following the statutes of the dead.
One says it is a horse and to the other - an automobile.
A hard ride and a soft girl on the pillion seat sure is success.
But can one's overall success be occasioned by works of human flesh?
There is freedom from one into one,
and being into continuous growth as one;
a freedom from within and back within.
Absolute freedom from everything else is the only way to success.
