Allegory of Ambition by Franz Wagner
a love ambition
turning to an obsession
sees no boundaries
~
riding pegasus
striving to capture his lust
his blind ambition
~
death follows behind
lethal ambition for her
a god-sent angel
~
mars’ warrior son
ready to kill and be killed
an ill ambition

It is never a good thing when an ambition turns to an obsession! Trouble for sure!

A nice story on ambition caught in four wonderful haiku, as one poem great, but seperated from each other also great.

My takeaway from your words? Most ambition turns deadly, either to the ambitious one, or to others.
