My view on pride and its anti-thesis.
Pride,
An explosive, deadly force poisoning men's minds,
An awful, ripping thing fueling desire and revenge,
A hateful, spite-filled leader of genocide,
A deaf power with little regard for any argument or opinion.

I long to be rid of it!
I can't stand it!
It impedes and hinders me, chaining me to fallible beliefs!
Makes me lash out for no reason, hurting and belittling others!
Makes me be lashed out against, for no reason but fear!
Controls my mind and makes me fight for the most stupid things!
I loathe it

Humbleness,
A gentle, yet powerful force of enlightenment,
A positive, clean attribute promoting love and care,
Discerns the best in others and elevates them,
the hearing, understanding power of a sage,

I want to attain it,
To only care about my self to a limited capacity,
But to help others as much as I can,
To be more than just a self-obsessed inward-looking man,
The transition to true, ever gratifying wisdom,
We all need it.
