655. Foolish Pride

Foolish pride gives way to devotion
Unsung heroes never heralded by fellow man
Victory undone by failures everlasting
Actions taken without following a plan
Toes stubbed on errors darken the soul
No challenges remain for those without heart
Truth and reality distorted by uncertainty
The best of intentions never allowed to start
Eyes blink wildly with a sense of remorse
Careless meanderings bereft of all thought
Troubled youth ages into tainted maturity
Righteousness forgotten by acts never taught
Society remains challenged by selfish meanderings
Hope left wounded upon battles soon lost
Sanity imprisoned in a world of jumbled logic
Misguided decisions made no matter the cost
