SENSELESS AMBITIONS

SENSELESS AMBITIONS

Each day we march to the beat,
of a drum that lies beyond us.
Know we this drummer that lead us?
That bonds us in slavery to time.

We in a constant hurry for nil -
Our lives a flurry of scurrying,
We fear deadlines - more than death,
all pursuing meaningless pursuits.

The accumulation of accolades,
de-void of substance and meaning -
that serves our pride - but not our joy.
Our tower of flatness grows steadily.

We feast on greed that leaves us empty,
We desire more than our needs! Why?
Seeking enough for multiple lives, but
losing the life we have in the process...

Perhaps we need to rethink - our actions,
Perhaps we’re chasing senseless ambitions.
