Disillusion!

What are the measures of success? What makes one stand on high? Is it money in excess With the power that money can buy? Is it the social standing Of being known by one and all? Is it your power of commanding? Or lording it over one and all? Is it getting a promotion? Or having the means to promote? Or oratorically create a commotion? Or having time to spirituality to devote? Is it freedom to indulge in frank-speak And ne'er be cowed down by others? Is it the time when you stop to seek And become a keeper of thy brother? None of the above is a reality It’s all a great big sham! Peace unto oneself speaks of quality, A realization of I am what I am!
