Vanity of Pleasure


              Vanity Of Pleasure 

               You are pleased as you gained strength to win,
                feeling yourself perfect superior.
                Any happenstance can lead to ruin
                your skill, actions, competence and power.

                You are now quite blessed by happiness,
                but you have no right to show your pity
               to others, spending their days in distress.
               It's disgrace to exhibit vanity.

               Accessed super success ! Feeling too proud ?
               Accept your honour behaving modest.
               Don't boast of your achievements, being loud.
               Failure may hit next !  You may not get best.

               Fortune gifted pleasure as your treasure.
               Rise up above vanity of pleasure.
