Hold One Back
The hubris overdrive that seems
to get one way ahead
is what will hold one back
since it went overboard.
Lose False Confidence
You seem to get away,
which gives you false ‘confidence’,
until you cannot anymore,
when you lose your true cockiness.
Check Your Evil
When you let your evil go unchecked,
it will grow to harm others more,
until it harms yourself even more,
since it first flows through you.
Learn From Fiction
Learn from the more terrible
and more dramatic in fiction
to prepare for that
hopefully less so in reality.
