SHOULD WE BELIEVE IN " SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST " OR IN " COEXISTENCE "

The run for survival of the fittest 

Has convincingly changed the definition of success 

Everyone seems to be running after god knows what Without taking a recess 

The resultant race to overcome the other 

Has ruined our lives and led it to wither .

As we see every other person running after a mirage 

Burning themselves out while on this entourage 

To some success may be loads of money in their banks 

And in their closets .

To others it may simply be

Having enough to pay the bills 

And water flowing freely out from their faucets 

Success for some may just mean

Dining, dancing and eating out all the year round 

To others it may simply be enjoying one or two meals with their spouse

To label them as joys unfound .

So do not lose yourself 

In the race of Survival of the fittest .

First know your own little self

To prevent yourself parting with your possessed assets 

For success always has had  different meanings 

Try and understand your own inner feelings .

Once you get to know what you yourself want 

Other's race or victory will never haunt .

However true be 

The Darwin's Theory Of 

Survival of the Fittest 

For you coexistence of all the beings would sound 

More logical and easier to accept .
