Necessity to Ambition - by - Bob Atkinson


Necessity to Ambition
(c)2016 Bob Atkinson
we've seen a pattern in our lives
which sets food upon our plate
selling souls for images
of future progress made

some necessary culture floats
formed of pretenses tried
with undulating purposed deportment
for which good men have cried

cried while operating manners
devolved in times of shame
eventful aberrations
of an honest person's game

necessity seems a wicked path
never finding honor within some bounds
expanding ever deep into
a circumstance of grounds

grounds of capitulation toward
what needs be done of late
never willing absolutes
be formed in a purposed haste

afterwards, when elements
find their place in time
we replicate these actions
with ambition deep far down

ambition's sense of order
replaces necessity in our minds
overcoming lust as a label
to legitimize our frowns

true, our feelings rove as we
find good place in life
wandering over problems
with arrogance of stride
