Heading Towards Success

We live in a[b] rat[/b]/i] [i]race  
As we run after success
A way of life we deemed to be the best  
We try to outrun our peers  
In this competitive life we live  
Without a care for those  
Who are going to be hurt in the race  
  
It is in our nature to be competitive  
Inherent in us from the beginning of time  
In the story of Cain and Abel  
Competition rouse our desire to succeed  
In whatever feat we take in life  
Success lures us, its power grips us  
It arouses our passion  
   
At times the smell and taste of success leave us in a state of trance  
As we savor the feeling of self fulfillment  
The aura of success is like a masterpiece of art  
Perfect, most sought after that everybody dreams to have and achieve  
   
So unlike failure whose taste leaves a sour and tangy taste in the mouth like a tar  
And a wound to our ego that we have to nurse for a time  
   
Traces of success are followed by many of us  
It is a path where everyone of us are heading to, rain or shine  
As we canter in the roads of life  
As we listen to its beauteous sound like a sweet aria in the silence of the night  
   
Do not rant over failure  
Take it as a challenge  
Make a strong stance to achieve the success you dream all your life  
Take one at a time  
little by little in cartful  
Till you achieve crates of it  
And reap the sweetest success of your life
