Holding your head up high,
Arrogance is ready to fight.

Challenging an enemy with honor,
Determined to win a pointless battle.

A proud stance duels until the end,
As egotism leads to a lost cause.

Poison of vanity leads to catastrophe,
When defeat possesses many dilemmas.

The negative pride must be put aside,
By letting the ego accept humility.
