Real Success

Real Success
P K Routray

Success you define

as achieving power, position, such kind.

Transitory these surely are

of which everyone is pretty aware

This success is not a real success

if to a real need, it does not bless.

If it has stigma of vices in achieving it

from this fake success, the divinity does quit.

The memories of these deeds give one torturous pain

as the deeds to some might have served as a bane.

Deeds of past on remembrance

if those give you smile and no repentance

that is your real success and achievement

fulfillment and bliss, accompany the joy of the moment.
