On Ambition

What is it worth to be
so powerful that you
conquer happiness?
Conquer death
but let happiness be!
Let it be king!
Let it be
God!

"Dear Content,
Happy birthday, here's your
headstone, it reads

CONTENTMENT
Born Yesterday, Died Today
nothing gold can stay

Do you like it? I spent
so much on it! (not to
brag, but)
By the way, I got you a
cyanide cake,
dig in!

Love,
Ambition"

Meanwhile, Happiness doodles and
hums a little song it made.


Ambition is so
mature, so adult. But so
cynical.
Happiness is just
a monkey on a vine, swinging and eating a
banana.

Ambition throws its excrement and blames Happiness.
Happiness doesn't blame anyone. It just smiles.

happiness against power...
everyone loses to Power.
happiness is fragile

the heart against the mind...
everyone loses to Logic.
the heart is fragile
