Mr. Ambition Şiiri - İdris Esen

he’s a true opportunist; hence,
he jumps at any chance
to move up the social ladder
he hustles; he grabs; he seizes
he does what he pleases
he’s afflicted with so many incurable diseases
an unreasonable passion for war games
an unquenchable thirst for wealth and fame
unstoppable ambitions; monstrous aims
an insatiable desire for power
an enormous ego like Windsor Tower
life’s not all success stories
when things turn sour
he frets, sulks and worries
sometimes applause, praise and promotions start to shower
and that’s his proudest and happiest hour
