The Will of Ambition and Ambiguity's Reason
(Alhambra, California, USA)
I desire success badly
How do I define great accomplishment?
What do I consider progress?
I don't know sadly
Maybe, I think it's easily paying my rent
Unburdened by money's stress
What I love to do I want to do forever
To write and create and sit and think
I want to play with my son, teach him, grow with him
Wishful thoughts that will be, never
That's not what I should preach or to my being, link
But the prospect of financial independence seems grim
That is my will
Not to have to deal with the need for money
For my autonomy to rely upon a structure
Whose purpose, whose will
Is to corrupt, exploit, and destroy, simply
That is where my ambition must go, my being ruptured
The will of ambition
Is to protect and love your family
The will of ambition truly
Is to hate and destroy other families nutrition
And damn me...
If I engage in that practice... fully
(Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, USA)
Reason is the greatest fight to be fought
There is some lesson here, there has to be
Why else would what happened happen?
Why lie in action...
When there is something of value to retrieve?
That's what I thought
Experience has taught me to never trust
And I could never have confidence
In definitions that aren't defined
I'm sorry but clarification is sublime
Explain to me your confused deference
Or hush
The fence between us two
I didn't think you'd walk so tightly
I boo
Your ambiguous thoughts mightily
(Visalia, California, USA)
