Beware

Ambition is fine
but be careful-
from time to time
it will whisper words
that will plunge you
deeper and deeper
into a realm of excess.
You may not realize
the toll being taken
but it is being extracted.
Pull yourself up
before you fall too deep.
Perpetual discontent
is no way to live happily.
A man with enough
is grateful for the blessings
of the ordinary.
