when void of ambition
too soon young girls
become sexy ladies
when void of ambition
too soon young people
begin making babies

when void of ambition
nothing matters but being cool
there are no more dreams
unimportant is school
when void of ambition
there is no discipline
there are no rules

when void of ambition
one never looks up
never trying to reach
that distant star
when void of ambition
there is only complacency
ever so happy to stay where you are

when void of ambition
there is no drive
doing whatever
just to stay alive
when void of ambition
so easy to do nothing
like a bad card hand
just give up and fold
a **** shame
at 16 years old

I'm glad you penned this

It is a very sad commentary on the cycle/circle of hopelessness that abounds in our families/communities...I see you've been making some very important observations about the true state of our union. At its foundation, the infrastructure is weak and weakening...no matter what the "statistics" say...

Please continue to scribe us into awareness ~ reaching one somebody is still a good goal.

Loved it, Bruce. Thank you
