Pride's Tyranny

More is lost from
Enforcing unity
Than granting
Sovereignty...
 
 ~ The Shah of Athabasca
 
Pride is such a tricky sin;
There's always some boss,
And qualities always matter,
To no end....in practice maybe,
But not so much so in theory.
Huh? Allow me to explain:
This piece is presently my
Boss, ...no idea how long
It'll take to finish, ...see?
However, should I decide
To finish it here, it's done.
Pride must be true freedom,
Or it'll guarantee you defeat.
Ultimately, your time ought
Not be based on your pride.
