Successful
Success forces us mildly to accept and swear obedience,
Towards whom is not known, but it is permissible to know.
There is a test for the great and intriguing,
Resolutions must end the matter.
Successful attributes kept the kings with their kingdoms,
Showing character and relentless strength.
To prosper is too wise a triumph, a reality is upon us,
We do mind the dangers but refrain from them now.
The marching of troops built water in the river,
Had an army in the first place,
And let the river run into the ocean,
Commanded by the generals and few others.
What is successful shows in the jobs we exceed
In calibre, and acumen, and wealth of knowledge.
The force of a thousand rivers was called a test
But then this test must be passed for the good of all men.

Success
Success is not just being the best,
it's been so unassisted in a test.
Success is not been someone else,
but by making yourself a role model to everyone else.
Success is not just academic stability,
it's the mandate to succeed in every good ability.
Success is not just getting there first,
it's sometimes needed to carry the rest.
Success isn't ' i know and you don't ',
neither is it ' you know and i don't '.
It always says ' what can we learn from eachother ',
or ' lets strive to be the best together '.
Success is not measured by fames or fortunes,
but by the amendment of the past misfortunes.
Success has nothing to do with your age,
neither is it acheived by lust or rage.
Success is not having all you want,
but by you appericiating, cos that will count.
Success is set in motion by great men,
who have nothing to do wit bad omen.
success doen't smile and say ' i have all ',
neither does it laugh and say ' you don't have at all '.
Success isn't in knowledge or wealth,
but it's in justice and divine health.
Success is acheived by great readers,
who end up being exceptional leaders.
Success is not a feeling of superity,
but by a unique character and humility.
Coupled with hardwork and determination,
in other to acheive all dreams and visions.
Success doesn't mean financial prosperity,
but it means heavenly security.
To get tn the house of greatness,
one must walk through the road of success.
Successful people believe right from d day of their birth,
and in that which can't be destroyed by moth or death.

Test Run
Equipment experimental
new and untried.
Will successful performance
be user satisfied?
Many trials and failures
at what should be well known.
Sometimes with an audience
others alone.
Still somewhat unsure.
Is this time right for the test?
Confidence there
a bit shaky at best.
With a mighty heave!
The machinery is put in motion.
Each independent move
brings a flood of emotion.
The test operation successful!
Though short guaranteed a repeat.
To those in attendance.
Baby's first steps an unforgetable feat.

May Be Forceful
The love you say you have for me?
You can keep that to yourself.
I need to start taking care of myself
Because you are bad for my health...
Oh, no it can't be bad for your health
It is like treasured wealth
Every female may want it to happen
Let thee be fake love even
It has not come all of sudden
You had dreamed it to happen
It might have been painful at the start
But believe me it is natural art
Whole world thrives on compassion
That is beginning of new relation
Believe it or not it is like river in spate
Initial reaction alright but some where to relate
Until it is forced one and against your wish
It can't be termed as bad finish
You were there with some willingness
May not be ready for such act to face
I shall not speak in favor or against
It may not be considered good or best
Love before marriage is to be called litmus test
One goes for it or forgets for the rest
Think and act wise
It is not at all surprise
It happens with all
As one gets wild with natures call
One character may be forceful
Other may be unwilling and resentful
Yet one over imposes and becomes successful
Leaves behind some traces and makes you remorseful

Memory Hall
Memory hall has
been added to
the school department.
On the day before
the big test,
it's a great place
to go.
Revive your memory
here to retain
the information
of things learned.
They take you into
this room and
go to the corner
of the memory.
You will recall
all knowledge
that you will need
for the big test.
Now get going,
for time is
runing out.
Memory hall is
a place every student
wants to be,
before the big
test.

In This Human World
In this Human World we live in ourselves with others we compare
But of what it takes to be a good person many do not seem aware
Few aspire to be better people though at what they do they want to be best
Many know of material success though many do not pass the good person test.
In this Human World we live in an often used word is success
As we seek the approval of others and others we want to impress
But most seek the success that comes with material possessions is this what life is all about
The idea of success to the majority is something that's open to doubt.
Few see success in helping the less privileged or for showing for them that we do care
Many see success in wealth accumulation yet too few for others their wealth does share
We come into the world with nothing and we cannot take our money with us when we die
The idea of what it takes to be successful is an idea that's based on a lie.
In this human world that we live in for material success many compete
Where many crave for recognition of being the wealthiest one in their street
But being the wealthiest person in your street or owning the biggest house or car
Does not tell us that much about you or of how good of a person you are.

A first or last
I may not be the first
It was going from bad to worst
It was real test
Though I tried my level best
I couldn’t do it
I was very late
How could I blame the fate?
I am ashamed to state
The cloak can’t be brought back
The time has passed to track
Enough water has flown in river
It creates panic and fever
I stand on brink of pond
I was so eager and fond
I saw the water very static
Is the life not so tragic?
Nothing can be brought back once gone?
It can’t be done or undone
Try to act in best of your ability
That is known as test and quality

How Do You Define Success?
The word success means many things to many people
To be considered a success, means that you have made it
The question here is – made it as what?
How do you define success?
Is it by passing an exam?
Is it by becoming a landlord or landlady?
Is it by been promoted at work?
Is it by winning the lottery?
Is it by marrying the woman of your dreams?
Is it by marrying the man of your dreams?
Is it by been in an executive position?
Is it by winning an election?
How do you define success?
Are you successful as a pilot or a stewardess?
What does the word – “success” mean to you?
Is it by been the head of your organization?
Is it by having lots of money?
And how much money determines success?
Are you successful as a member of the armed forces?
Are you successful as a member of the police force?
What is your own definition of success?
Are you successful by been a writer, teacher,
Pastor, evangelist, taxi driver, congressperson,
Medical doctor or a reputed musician
Are you successful by been a sole proprietor
Mechanic, movie star, or the chairman of the board
Are you successful as an architect or builder?
Do you consider yourself a success as a banker?
Success is in the eyes of the beholder
The meaning of success varies and differs
From one person to the other

My Name Is Reckless
My name is reckless;
I’ve passed my test
so I know how to drive.
I ignore all the honking horns
as I weave through the traffic
in the sports car I bought last week.
I’m the greatest driver
you ever want to meet.
You see my name is reckless;
I’ve passed my test
so I know how to drive.
No one can beat me
as I race down roads everywhere.
The speed limit
mean nothing to me,
that for only learners
Because my name is reckless,
I’ve passed my test
so I know how to drive.
I took my mate out
for a spin to show him all I new.
We raced around the roads.
I’d driven down them before
so I knew them like the back of my hand.
My name is reckless;
I’ve passed my test
so I know how to drive.
As we raced along
an articulated lorry
was stretched across the road.
I knew I could go under it
so I told my mate to duck.
My name is reckless;
I’ve passed my test
so I know how to drive.
My mate didn’t hear me
as the music was so high
so when the roof came off so did my mate as well.
I escaped with minor injuries,
but my mate died at the scene.
They told me they were charging me
with careless driving,
but I soon told then a thing or two.
My name is reckless;
I’ve passed my test
so I know how to drive.
Unfortunately, my statement
didn’t wash with them.
The judge sent me down
for a three-year stretch.
He took away my licence
and threw it in the bin.
I protested saying.
My name is reckless;
I’ve passed my test
so I know how to drive.

How good it is
How good it proves to be revengeful?
When it does not as successful
There is no other option but to change the style
As world is not inclined to wait for meanwhile
Revengeful attitude may turn you ungrateful
That will bar your entry as successful
People may keep you at safe distance
You may be neglected often and not at once
The river water may always flow
Keep water clean and silently go
Never harm anybody when so cool and silent
But don’t spare either when in spate and hell bent
Knowledge and treasure are like weapons
They are not merely issued as coupons
That remains with men for longer period
Its misuse can be clearly seen and one must try to avoid
You use it on poor and it becomes curse
Whole life you may repent it with curse
That may not allow you sound sleep
Even if you try to retain it or keep
More you distribute it grows larger in size
This can only be done by cleaver and wise
Fools and stupid may use it to their advantage
They may live like animals even with passing of an age
So one has to change as when fortune strikes
Needs to be proven that nobility is not at all stake
Knowledge is to be passed on for future generation
That may in turn build sound and stable relation
Wealth multiplies and knowledge doubles
No one knows when it may disappear like bubbles
If it is made best use of for welfare in time
The humanity and poor may not suffer sometimes
There is no use if knowledge is used as leverage
Others need not be pulled down if they are underage
They may gain excellence in days to come
Their contribution as whole must always be welcome
Strengthen and consolidate with whatever you have
Beautifully present when time comes and behave
It may earn not only reputation but good name too
You may be known by what you have been or passed through

Be Blind Sometime
Don’t test literature
With science and wisdom.
Don’t test the scriptures
With science and knowledge
Don’t test your beloved
With doubts and notions.
They will lose their charm.
Be blind to enjoy them.

The Proof Of Worth
Though victory's proof of the skill you possess,
Defeat is the proof of your grit;
A weakling can smile in his days of success,
But at trouble's first sign he will quit.
So the test of the heart and the test of your pluck
Isn't skies that are sunny and fair,
But how do you stand to the blow that is struck
And how do you battle despair?
A fool can seem wise when the pathway is clear
And it's easy to see the way out,
But the test of man's judgment is something to fear,
And what does he do when in doubt?
And the proof of his faith is the courage he shows
When sorrows lie deep in his breast;
It's the way that he suffers the griefs that he knows
That brings out his worst or his best.
The test of a man is how much he will bear
For a cause which he knows to be right,
How long will he stand in the depths of despair,
How much will he suffer and fight?
There are many to serve when the victory's near
And few are the hurts to be borne,
But it calls for a leader of courage to cheer
The men in a battle forlorn.
It's the way you hold out against odds that are great
That proves what your courage is worth,
It's the way that you stand to the bruises of fate
That shows up your stature and girth.
And victory's nothing but proof of your skill,
Veneered with a glory that's thin,
Unless it is proof of unfaltering will,
And unless you have suffered to win.

Setup To Fail
When you come to test someone,
You believe is unprepared?
AND with a confidence,
You will be the one to pass...
YOUR 'test',
Easily!
To then leave and be on your way?
Be sure your activities,
Have not been scrutinized...
Prior to administering 'your' test.
What appears to be simple...
May keep your brain twisted,
For the rest of your life.
Riddled with doubts you question.
When you come to test someone,
You believe is unprepared?
AND with a confidence,
You will be the one to pass...
YOUR 'test',
Easily?
Remember this...
You just may be the one,
Being setup to fail.

Sonnet: On Test-tube Baby
When childless couples want a child of own,
And many years of married life has gone,
They can try having test-tube baby one -
A method successful, cheap and well-known!
Both partner's ovum, sperm are utilized;
In vitro fusion of gametes is done;
The doctors doing this are authorized;
The blastocyst is set for nidation!
A forty percent success does occur;
Not many complications can happen;
IVF is a global procedure;
Varieties have been added to our ken.
Welcome are Test-tube babies to this world;
To childless couples, they appear like gold!

Thrilled To Be So Blessed
She only expressed interest,
In her own progress.
Even though married...
In a one-sided partnership,
Often beset with obstacles to test.
She could not accept,
Her husband's wish for economic success.
Instead,
She took it upon herself with friends...
To belittle his independence,
With a disrespect she sought to get.
She became quite successful.
And he did too.
Although he did not receive,
The support she knew.
And after years of reflection,
He has no regrets.
With hopes she has found happiness...
Since he is awakened with identity.
And thrilled to be so blessed.

God Accept My Flying Kisses
God accept my flying kisses for you
God forgive me if my efforts are few.
God come in my dream to make it sweetest
God make me successful in my life’s test.
God give me the fortune to serve the people
God pull me upper and never let me fall.
God teach me the lessons that I should know
God purify my mind please don’t say no.

The Once Great River
In the once great river pollution is rife
Nowadays it does not support much aquatic life
In a polluted river fresh water fish rare
Pollution can cause extinction of that much we are aware
On the polluted river few water birds to be seen
Most of the river pools covered in algae of green
From sewage and wash of chemical fertilisers that in drains into it does flow
With so called human progress the scourge of pollution does grow
Pollution in it flowing to the distant ocean shore
The once great river is not great anymore
Do not drink of these waters the warning signs say
Pollutiuon is rife in the World of today
And the once great river flows on muddy gray
To the mighty ocean many miles away.

Ping!
he may be the most brilliant
most brilliant I've ever met
I had specific needs this place covers
but there's more to where I'm at
what I'm learning is making me stronger
new ways to handle myself
almost like a test of who I am
or will I break down and become like everyone else
I've had a milestone and some setbacks to be sure
but now that I am past them
changing myself for the better, working for the future
if this test fails I would remain
at a level that I can't stand
but as I'm overcoming
it's like I'm still clearly led by his hand
success doesn't come easy here
around defeating attitudes
but now that God has renewed my strength
I'm amazed what it is making me improve
