As the feedback on the former poem was big, here is a new question! Thanks a lot for the many comments about my poem #5, i really appreciate it! You guys really make this site alive, and motivates me to keep on writing!
What do you see as success?
This poem was written TODAY as a part of the midweek motif on the site http://poetryblogroll.blogspot.com/. Enjoy, I haven't used much time to edit it, but I think I did a great job anyways!

"Success"
We listen to the marching rhythm of the work force
traveling it's way to the waterhole.
They greet, drink and feed of each others suits and ties.
Appearance is a sign of the content-less poets.
Listen to the writing of the lone accountant prowling on its prey.
Money is a helpless animal
hunted by
the modern carnivores.
We're haunted by a constant stabbing in the back,
social creatures you might say.
Do well
Do good
Do better
Do best
Success is what we make it
birds learning to fly
Success is what makes us
forming armies of student loans and self-abuse.
Success is what drives us
blows cool air in our face at much needed times
Success is what it is
a never-ending fear of failure molding us into brutish creatures.
