"There are bad ways to win--and good ways to lose. What's interesting and troubling is that it's not always clear which is which. A flipped coin doesn't always land on heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all..."


Pride, how can one despise You?
Of course, You are not the villain,
You are the hero of Your story.
Yet in Your splendid imagination, You forget.
Like a father, in existence, yet distant.
You choose your favorite child, and forget
about the meek and the ordinary.

This is a seven-line poem about one of the seven sins. Each line only has seven words. This is the second poem out of seven.
