Ambition (POEM : 2004-05)

AMBITION

 

When I came out after attending a session ,

My mind and heart together asked me a question.

That did I have something in my life  called “Ambition”.                                                                                                                                                                                                         

So, I decided with firm and strong determination,

That I would figure out what exactly was Ambition.

 

I went into a society to take views from every section ,

Mr. Richie Rich told me it was money and wealth ,

But Mr. Body Builder said it was fitness and health.

The News Reporter wanted to create a sensation ,

Whereas the politician wanted to lead a big procession.

The designer wished to change the world’s fashion ,

My friend wished to increase his stamp and coin collection.

‘A’ wanted to become an officer at a high position ,

But ‘B’ was hungry for appreciation and admiration.

 

All these views did nothing but added up to my confusion.

I sadly walked down the street with dejection ,

And recalled my meetings with each and every person ,

Oh! Yes!! I got something which was common.

All of them strongly desired ,

To achieve what they aspired.

And this strong aspiration to achieve your goal ,

Is the meaning of ‘ambition’ as a whole.

 

At last I successfully achieved my ambition ,

Which was to find the meaning of the word AMBITION !!!
