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
