Notes About The Poem

" AMBITIONS " MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: flower, plant and nature

Ambitions

An 
ambitious man 
may
achieve his goals

but 

his soul will not benefit 
if
selfishness is, his prime
motivation!

It's all well and good to be ambitious in life if those gains are used for the benefit of the less fortunate . But many are in for a shock when the day of judgement comes and it will. Tom.

True my friend Tom! They do not care though about the less fortunate! Pray one day justice will prevail! Thank you!
