WHAT DEFINES SUCCESS?

What defines success?
Why the paradox?
Two people equally work
Incorporate passion and talent
One is called
The other left behind
 
The chosen can pontificate
But tries to stay humble
The equal keeps working
Wallows in the struggle
 
The one in demand
Gets loose with his work
The other betrays nothing
Passion is not a quirk
 
The chosen is steady
Knows he has arrived
The struggler keeps working
Glad to be alive
 
How many times
Have these stories been told
Who knows tomorrow
And what will unfold?
 
You hail success
But devour passion
Success is perception of
What’s currently in fashion
