Ambition

it's a meandering road to the top
a serpentine boulevard surrounded by towering skyscrapers. 
but when did we put so much emphasis on academics, that the snake, Ambition, seemed to have consumed us?
who will follow you to the top, locking horns with whatever stands in your way?
who will be the last one standing, the last contender standing on the scorching arena of pen and paper?
who will put your soul to the test, and what will test your erudition?

find someone who can match you, who can get you moving, whoever could be your yardstick. 
find someone who can catch you, who can release you from the gates of purgatory, when all hell breaks loose.
find someone who would both be a friend but nothing less than a foe, who can see your worth, and release your hidden potential
because when everything turns asphalt black, only the people will be there for you, not your Ambition, or your  Greed.
