He failed


 Sun bloomed into the skyWith its branches all overIts roots spread deep into night I emerged victorious
From the bedDestroying fatigue of yesterday 
I looked at the sky
Moon failed to shine thereStars failed to shine there. I looked down and sawMuddy water and wastes all overGovt. failed to keep the city clean. I looked to the road
So many Failures walking, runningTo reduce extra weight. I looked at the scientists
He failed in his 100thConsecutive Experiments. 
I looked at skyClouds failed to appear and
Pour rain. Athletes failed in the exam,Sportsman failed in election,Doctor failed in marathon,Chickens failed in flyingMonkeys failed in swimming,Donkeys failed in climbing I will fail again if I measure sea with a large tea spoon.I will fail again if I count sand on the sea shore.I will fail again if I count stars on the sky.Then, what is failure? When does one fail?When someone else uses wrong measurement to measure the otherThe other fails brutally mercilessly and in an unwanted manner.
