Ambition Till The End Poem by Randy McClave

I own a guitar
But, I can't play a chord,
I can't strum or finger the frets
Now my guitar is put away and stored.

I own a baseball bat
But, a home-run I never scored,
I swung and I kept striking out
Now my bat is above my bed on a board.

I own a muscle car
But, I have never raced,
I was terrified of the speed
So, the NASCAR dream I never chased.

I own exercise equipment
But, I'm still fat around the waist,
So, I put away all my equipment
And my reps and menus I erased.

I can easily pull a trigger
So, I bought myself a gun,
I have no talent or dreams at all
But, I can end the ambitions of others for fun.
