Success Poem by Barry Goldman

What make Men fight and die
Who know not the reasons why.
Living and dying with deaths caress,
Oh someone tell me, what is Sucess?

Silence.
Then a voice was heard.
In a strong but mellow tone,
God said to me in these very words.

'What is success you ask,
Only a word and not a life,
So go forth and come what may
Above all fulfill each day'.

'With what I asked'?
Silence, Then the voice once more
Answered with an angry roar.
'Displeased I am with what you ask'!

I pondered for a while and then,
Thought of wars and dying Men.
Oh world rebuild your mess
And realize maintaining Peace is Success.
