the one thing man want's is to be king. ambition is what drives a person to try. don't you get it?

everbody wants to be king, so he who is trying must do everything to beat anyone eles. otherwise their ambimtion does no exsist.

This is only a two lined poem. how can this Literature even come close to discribing , or trying to express the drilling and driving motion of ambition !!!
