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
* For Carpe Diem # 242 Ambition.
It was a few years back
that people used to
call me an orator-
the one really eloquent
in conversation, the one
who can talk with any one
and today I find myself
at a path where
I find it difficult to
even talk to myself.
It was a few years back
when I was confident,
always striving to be a leader
and see today I find myself
cowering behind,
wanting some one else
to take the responsibility
while I just see it
from the back.
How time changes
and how much I have
changed,
how much my life
has changed me.
