Over time,

Success gets dusted off…

It is not rooted in the real

Power & Wealth

Beauty & influence

Disappear like they appeared.

 

It can take a lifetime

To see that money

Is but of notional value

Power rides on the back of fear

And influence and beauty

Do not last.

 

So then,

What is worth having?

What is a worthy pursuit?

What will validate me?

What will make my efforts

Valuable, fruitful and meaningful?

 

Imagine yourself as being

Other than what you own

And what you seek

Success cannot liberate you

It’s circle of influence can only

reach up to the edge of low reason.

 

The false entices because

We don’t know the truth

The false is ever-changing

Ever-growing and ever-progressing

The true remains unaffected,

Unchanged and eternal.

 

So look at what you don’t see

And listen to what you don’t hear

The truth doesn’t speak

She’s not spectacular or grand

She just is. Free from failure

Because she’s disinterested in success.
