Pride Poem by graham russell

the abyss opens benath his feet
the horrors lurk within the gate
for man is his own worse enemy
to carry seeds of hate within his heart
so easly it could have been
the gates of heaven he stood between
but no man wanted more
he wanted to be a god of lore
now foolish man falls into hell
to seal his fate in this hellish
place set apart from all
for pride does come before
a fall as man has learnt to
his disgrace.
