the failure

The Failure It is about vanity, a need to see one's name in print The shortest of glory, five seconds, ten? Switch off at that point of glory, and the fame can last until someone else demands to use the tablet  A book of poetry, published in a small town in India  61 pages, and the editor and owner of the press  tells us the poems are great, not panegyrical, but ok Sitting down to read one's thoughts only to discover  misspelling and less elegant sentences, what  The eyes had not seen before glared up with a smirk Oh, the shame of this must keep it a secret, not tell Should anyone ask,  say the book was not published  this year and turn the talk to something  else, like The high electricity prices
