Pride Poem by Dr.Balnarayana Bandam

Pride is a sort of self-respect and personal worth
Feel of self -superiority and blaming others as unworthy
Ever feels thy safe, and self-defense
Pride of thy power and dignity commence
And the attachment both leads to pride
Pride is a sort of weakness of the person beside
Though Pandavas at battle had no domain
They were of modest and with support divine
Duryodhana had the kingdom and martial
As was with immense pride lost thrown and life hostile
A riverside tree always feels of thy vastness
As is stronger and more potent than the underlying grass tininess
But as the river overflowed with intense wind
The grass on the land obeyed and bent and survived of water and wind
But the mighty tree as refusing to bend
Uprooted entirely, was logged to pieces at the end
The big snake if feels pride and resists tiny ants can kill
Thus away the life of pride, better is the survival skill
