Failure

Of the successful we only do hear And of failure only the fear we do fear But at the end it will not matter at all If you and your life others do not recall. If in death others for you do not grieve And in your life nothing great you did achieve But as long as you have not harmed anybody in a wilful way You will rest in peace in life you've done okay. Failure is a word some people abuse That to put down others too often they use People who to them any wrong have not done Or people who never have harmed anyone. Like the great tree of the forest who once stood proud and tall To the scythe of the reaper we eventually fall Then the one who died as a billionaire will only be the same As the one who died without a cent to his or her name.
