Ambition Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

Ambition



Moved by an insatiable appetite
he always felt invigorated to write
so, he settles down and jots
the constant flow of thoughts
that emanated from his heart
and carefully recorded them
and he put them together
with his other works of art!

See, people couldn't really tell
whether or not he was using a magic spell
or some sort of incantation
because he never lacked
inspiration
nor the motivation
while others thought
he was inspired
by divine revelation!

Maybe that why,
he'd write about anything
and almost everything
with ease!

He was constantly writing something
and his hands were on fire
because, they would never tire
nor did they ever lose their ability
to write!

He continued to write
piece after piece
like an addict
he was a 'chained writer'
that loved writing
more than anything else in the world
that he wrote and wrote
and often forgot
to do other things!

Till one morning
he was found dead
with a paper and pen
in his hand
and his last piece
where he prophecied his end
in a piece entitled:
'glued to the pen! '
