Ambition - in Kamals own words

What if I can see it, smell it, almost touch it,

That gilded throne where I will proudly sit,

Would people think me mad,

Is my ambition so preposterous and bad.

And why not me, have I not earned this crown,

Someone not worthy of that queenly gown,

Bejeweled and composed for all to see,

My vassals all around, bowing deep to me.

Naysayers bleat I'm just an empty ship,

With lights and streamers pretending to be hip,

Without a cargo or destination clear,

Sailing in circles relying on the wind to steer.

But if we're given to analogies, what if I were a Trojan horse,

With clear intent and undisputed course,

Where guile and purpose rule the day,

The aim to soundly win not merely one to play.

Demean and underrate me at your peril,

I can pivot between angel and pure devil,

While my laugh is designed to be disarming,

It masks a side of me considerably less charming.

Everything I've wanted I've achieved,

A trajectory few would have believed,

Do you think I'll stop at this last jump,

And in so doing fully flatten Trump?
