Ambition

Ambition breeds ambition.
Ambition generates struggles.
The struggle to achieve; the quest to attain. 
The desires to reach a height, 
an effort to widen horizon.
An effort to spread tentacles.

Striving on a volatile ground,
ambition germinates on fertilizer.
Growing on a free range.
Ambition never stops but pushes on.

If squeezed, ambition folds like elastic.
If forced to relax, ambition focuses.
Focusing on tomorrow and living today behind
Ambition sees the future. 
And carries the features to fortress.

Sometimes fortuitous, ambition plants.
Ignoring obstacles, ambition gets miracles.
Pulling the possessions, 
ambition gets to position.

Restricting restriction, 
ambition gets restoration.
Aiming to the sky ambition, 
shoots down struggle.
Going through a test,
ambition becomes a titian.

Acknowledging victory, 
ambition becomes a victor.
Ambition the last in the list expecting limit.
But, limit never came, because of ambition.
