SELF MADE MAN SUCCESS




I know who this man of means is... 
I know who this man is 
with so many poses and possessions... 
This corporate man. 
incorporated, all bodied... 
I know his intimate afflictions, 
his fears and his needs... 
I know his struggle not to be a living legend, 
But a real man... 
Not to become an icon so not to lose, 
his legacy of humanity...! 
I know he knows the evil  do, perpetrate 
this easy... 
He knows the cruel trap that 
brings unhappiness... 
He knows the deep boredom 
of having everything, possessing everything... 
Hw knows about morbid desires 
from the enemies who want to naked him suffer... 
From the eagerness of the false to enjoy 
his flashes, possessions and attributes! 
I know who this man boy is, 
bold warrior who fights and toils 
so as not to lose simplicity...! 
I  that know this simple side well 
of complicated life... the normal way 
of taking things... I declare and affirm: 
I am a friend who defends this person 
and his integrity... 
His honesty !
