Ferociously Successful

For whom success is a practice...........
Ferociously Successful
For some, hugging and kissing success is a practice.
To them, ‘failures’ are an object to tease.
This bracket is ferociously successful.
They consider the ‘unsuccessful’ as fool.
Sadly mistaken are they by this illusion.
There is much more beyond their vision.
They are blindfolded by successive success!
Lost is the humility which is invaluable and priceless.
This "blindness" brings in arrogance and pride.
It makes a very bad and poor guide.
Achievements’ assault kills their conscience.
Compassion to ‘weak’ is conspicuous by its absence.
Hurt are those around with their verbal cruelty.
Alas! Filled with conceit are their cerebral cells and cavity.
This vanity crown has to fall on the ground.
"Be it good or bad, has to end" is a philosophy, profound.
Life is more than just being too successful.
This is understood by a few and handful.
What is yonder none know not!
Beyond mundane materialism, there is quite a lot.
To learn and understand this, whole lifespan falls short.
Acclaimed and proclaimed "successful" may believe it or not.
