Success In Postmodern World?

Rating: 5.0


Cookies, coke and branded wear
Success doesn't dwell there.

Degrees and diplomas are papers
Fame and popularity vapours
LUST and beauty though good appear
Success doesn't dwell there.

Rich and poor is a mind game
Pain is universal.All over same.
Pain is common, there and here.
Success doesn't dwell there.

Follow wine, wealth or women
Chase honour, charity or acumen

Be a recluse or travel everywhere
Success doesn't dwell there.

Nikke Lee tasted five thousand men
Cassino lied with a thousand women.

Marlow drank wine without fear
Success doesn't dwell there.

Changing beloveds is no solution
Old and New is an illusion
And selfish cries,God swear
Success doesn't dwell there.

Power and treasures vanish one day
Kings and Queens finish one day
Attitude, craze, ego disappear
Success doesn't dwell there.

Bookworm,child labourer or lusty teen
Let go the flower of youth unseen
Hands with cellphone, eyes with tear
Success doesn't dwell there.

Here is a sale of blood and life
Brother by sister, Husband by wife
Where fair is foul, foul is fair
Success doesn't dwell there
LUST is dearer than parents and books
Wisdom is inferior to powdered looks
Adults helpless, young insincere
Success doesn't dwell there.
Strive hard to be a star bright
Be the wish of the people of night
Be not a salable lantern dear
Success doesn't dwell there.
