Poem: Success
We aim to create a life of success.
Approved and certified.
Where we trade our soul
for the “needed” elements,
the right combination,
the right choice,
for what we have been told
will give us a stamp of approval.
Success in the name of evolution, progress, pride, luxury, cash...
Success for what “we are told we want”
And if you don’t... you are damned.
If you question it intellectually
you are brave and respected
but if you live it... you are crazy.
Because success is a packaging designed and created to impress
and give us the value that inside we aim.
Success is the holy grail of our society.
Waiting to be discovered between the ruins of our ego
outside the limits of convention
and the rules of the system
that is setting you to fail.
