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.

If change is constant,
Yet goal is the same,
Then goal must be...
That constant change!

~ The Shah of Athabasca

How funny life works
When you work at it
Where you are is ideal
For where you came from
Even if you're born
To lose; you are not
Born just that! Yes
Priorities matter!!!
What forgives? Art?
Like hell it must!!!
