When one's cup fills to the brim... <br />With a spilling over that begins. <br />Would it be advantageous, <br />To secure another cup? <br /> <br />Or should a sacrifice, <br />That has been satisfied... <br />Be enough, <br />For one bitten by drive... <br />And ambition. <br /> <br />Or... <br />Does a success achieved, <br />Begin to breed the feeding... <br />Of an unstoppable greed. <br /> <br />Only one familiar with the taste of poverty, <br />Can truthfully say... <br />What sustains a need, <br />To maintain a craving done selfishly!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
