Ambiguous Ambition
Ambition is a driving force,
Admirable in many ways,
That's only, of course
If nobody else has to pay
Ambition can help you prosper,
And live life to the full
Ideas that you had fostered
Start to become fruitful.
People look up up you,
Admire your "get up and go."
Some may envy your success,
Others think you are on show.
He has always been ambitious,
Reaching for the stars
People can be malicious
Ambition can cause scars.
The ambitious can be ruthless,
In their pursuit of acclaim
Their one purpose in life is to
Amass money, power and fame.
We need ambitious people,
So we may forge ahead
We don't need power-hungry people
Who are greedy and easily led.
Life loses it's value when the self is satisfied
Until they find out there is nowhere left to hide
Ambition is a driving force,
Admirable in many ways,
That's only, of course
If nobody else has to pay!
