SUCCESS
It isn't perfect outcome grace secures
                           BUT
The result of excessive stinky failures 

It isn't hoping, come better tomorrow
                               BUT
The will of being strong cum sorrow

It isn't relating cogent reasons to fate
                           BUT
Bid to keep up with luck, unease's dictate

It isn't gentleman's song: waiting turn
                       BUT
How madness don't mind crazy burn

It isn't about hardworking all day long
                            BUT
The shift in risky greed: foaming conge

FAILURE
It isn't trying to please everyone
                     BUT
Losing yourself chasing in it, fun

It isn't having many sexy friends
                     BUT
Submitting to one who pretends

It isn't just letting go of worries
                     BUT 
Making hurried decisions in flurries

It isn't all about disappointments
                   BUT
Lacking productive adjustments

It isn't related to poor background
                  BUT
Comforting soul idleness crowned 

LIFE
Life is of two phases
            BOTH
Tease frowned gazes

Life is of peace and war
              BOTH
One must gladly explore

Life is of morning and night
                 BOTH
Its sun and moon meet twilight

Life is of the White and the Black
                  BOTH
Are hungry of world power to hijack

Life is of ageing truth and infantile lie
                      BOTH 
Are great tools wisdom to live off hell, dye
