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?
