King on a chessboard
by JOSHUA HANIOR

He had his way
But lost his way
He achieved his aim
But missed the mark
His Triumph is a loss
Against ego
Many victories are battles lost
Against pride
As strength becomes his weakness
A curse that destroys
So I concluded
Sometimes when you win
You lose
Indeed a prudent man
Overlooks an insult
