~ Hubris’ Nemesis… ~ 

☆

Hubris swells the heart,

an inflated pride so high

Leads us to fathomless fall,

and makes us wonder why

* 

We rise on ego’s wings,

but are destined to decline

As the nemesis ushers in,

an inevitable bitter design

 *

In ruin’s darkened night, we

see our crestfallen pride

A lesson learnt in pain, with

a humbled heart inside

 *

The height we aspired to grasp,

slips through our hands

And wisdom’s seeds are sown,

in humility’s gentle stands

☆

~Pravin Raghuvanshi
