High Ambitions Poem by Mahmoodul Haque Sayed

The high ambitions can ruin a life
Even those can engulf a person alive

With a few good ambitions
We can increasingly go too far

In the war of life, one should not
Crave for those things which are
Really beyond his ability

In the way of life, we must learn
Learn how to sacrifice

We must try up to the height
At which level we can ride.

The birth of butterflies are mysterious thing
In the world of biology

Beginning or throughout the warm-stage
Butterflies are very helpless
They don’t try to fly during that time
But time helps them to grow and fly

Hey, my good friends, keep in mind
Human ambitions never die, this is why
Keeping them under control is well & wise
