Negative Pride

by Michael LoMonaco   Aug 26, 2016


Holding your head up high,
Arrogance is ready to fight.

Challenging an enemy with honor,
Determined to win a pointless battle.

A proud stance duels until the end,
As egotism leads to a lost cause.

Poison of vanity leads to catastrophe,
When defeat causes many predicaments.

The negative pride must be put aside,
By letting the ego accept humility.

    Again another really good write with a lot of food for thought. Sometimes we cut our noses off despite our face. Egos and vanity tend to get in the way of winning at any costs.
